3.3V not enough current => cold boot problems when overclock ... 3.3 also for memo + and mobo. Not all mobos are made by Intel specs ... Intel fanboy. Also you should know that on some mainboards +5V also powers the CPU.
Intel sucks at mobos, once as I remember I had a lot of intel 965 mobos all with lots of problems, had to RMA the whole lot.
I think that X38-DQ6 has a different design and power managemant than Intel's X38 mobos specifications.
On this mobo +12 V rail is supplementary for the CPU, to achive the required power for the extreme CPU's, so the main power for the CPU is still +3,3 and +5V (I do not know the percentage). Read the manual if you don't belive me.
