on the side where pins are in the center there are little rectangles, if you count the you either have 12 or 30

There is no difference in OC potential between 12 and 30 caps. I know that it sucks but that's a fact.

but the 30 caps default voltage is lower... wouldnt just that give more headroom to overclock ?
