What is the XFX 680i SLI quad revised model number?

So, I'm looking into getting an XFX 680i SLI board for my new rig. I am well aware that a revised board was released awhile back. I am wondering if anybody can tell me the model # or at least some way of identifying the XFX boards with the new revision. I will be running a Q6600 so I definitely need the new rev in order to overclock.

It seems easy enough to tell on the EVGA 680i model, as A1/T1 are the new revised boards.

 
Darn good question, i looked for the answer weeks ago and never found the answer.
Alll i know is there is an a+ version.

And the only info i could find was...
"the current A+ model released by XFX has all the quad enhancements that were present on the A1 model recently released by EVGA."

And i found ZERO info on how to tell the difference!!


And then i read THIS
"The 680i-SLI motherboards will support 45nm Wolfsdale (dual core) CPU's with an upcoming BIOS update. 45nm Yorkfield (quad core) CPU's will be supported on upcoming nForce 700-series SLI motherboards.
and i stopped looking at 680i boards all together.















 
XFX might have just silently updated the existing model with a new board revision. This is normally what most mobo manufacturers do when they have to revise a mobo design. EVGA for some reason made it a new model and continue to sell the existing version.
