Aside from loading the 5v/3.3v line (which simply stabilize the line if anything), the method to boost depends on the design. That's why I asked for pics. There could be a pot inside for tweaking the voltage, or the motherboard connector could have a feedback wire. From personal experience, the feedback wire makes for the best and most stable boost, but some don't have it. Like I said, it depends.

Heck, just hook her up and see what it does under load. As long as it stays at or above 11.5v at the max loaded output, then you're fine. I just personally like having a higher voltage for efficiency, and makes the charger's switching supply not work so hard.
