Due to low vcore voltages for cpu and gpu and the load on the 3.3v (5v vcc is a thing of the past) they are derived from the 12v supply nowadays. The lower the operating voltage the faster the logic switches and less power is needed. That is why you have extra 12v connections on MB.
But I don't see why derive it from the 12 V line instead of the 5 V line, leaving it unused and overloading the 12 V line instead.
Search me, thats why multiple rail PSUs came about. Isolating noisy fans and disks etc from cpu & gpu.
I'd bet that the cpu+memory is way more noisy that the poor fan. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
