Where does A7N8X-DLX get the Vcore from, 5V or 12V?

My A7N8X-dlx does not have the 4-pin 12V socket.

I heard most nfoce2 mb's use the 12V to generate Vcore.

Does the A7N8X-dlx, even w/o the 12V socket, generate Vcore from the 12V line (via the regular ATX connector)?

I have tried searching this info, and not beeen able to find a definite answer.

Other nforce2 mb such as the ABIT NF7 has the 4-pin socket and uses the 12V to derive Vcore.
 
i am quite certain that it is 5v line that it is taking power from on my A7n8x-dx. cause whenever my cpu usage goes up, my 7v rail goes down a few points.
 
I believe it comes frome the 5v line, I've noticed the 5v line drop just a little when cranking the v-core up. Just logical guess really.
