Check the s-spec side of the box, if it's from onvia it's retail and you'll probably get a SL45Y, which is cb0

Maybe don't open the box until you're sure so you can return it easier. A cB0 is definitely the prefered way to go if you're o'clocking.

if u get SL4xx then it is CB0

if the produce spec has this kind of format then it is CB0

700/100/256

also
CBO has a processor CPUID code of

6/8/3

CA2 has 6/8/1

Btw, if you don't trust us, you can verify the s-spec by going here:

SL3XX would be OEM 700e cb0 (XX as in the letter X's not represent numbers)
SL45Y would be boxed 700e cbo
