EVGA nForce 680i is it ok for overclocking a Quad core ?

[jamieuk23]

considering buying a Q6600, been doing some reading around the web and noticed that some people said a quad core would depend on which version you have A1 or R1 version.

is there a way of telling which version you have with out taking the board out ???

I have this motherbaord bought from here http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-000-EA

Is it ideal for overclocking Quad core ?

Look at the PCB number(Near the serial number sticker) if it ends in C00 its the old AR revision board & if it ends in D00 it's the new A1 revision board.

am I right in thinking that evga will swap it or fix it if its the old version ?
