Does anyone happen to have or know anyone who has this board?

This is the v2 board, MSI withdrew support for 125-watt processors from the v1 board due to some "dramatic failures". Here is v1:

If you look at the two boards, the only visible differences (to my eye anyway) are the addition of the heatsink beside the CPU (this was invariably the area of the "dramatic failures") and the "v2" sticker.
I bought one of the v1 boards before learning all this (as seems to be my habit), and I have a 125-watt processor. I am dying to know if this heat sink was the only change. I have read of a person adding his own heatsinks to this area and running a 125-watt processor without a problem, but what I'd REALLY like to know is whether it says "v1" underneath that "v2" sticker.
