What stepper drivers does the a30 pro ship with? I've read in multiple places that it has TMC silent drivers. Is this accurate?

I just purchased my a30pro and it has the a4988 drivers. This has me on the verge of returning the printer as it was advertised as having TMC drivers which are SOOOOO much quieter, plus the steppers are already running extremely hot even with the a4988 drivers. What determines which drivers are included and can I get these replaced with the advertised TMC2208's?

Sorry for the trouble. The stepper motors of the a30 series are all TMC series, you can use it with confidence. :D

but this is my point and what has me confused and concerned.

first you tell me that it could be either, then you tell me they're all tmc, BUT, I know that mine are not TMC because I've opened the buttom up and they are not. So, do I have a board that was assembled correctly? Do I have old hardware put inside a new enclosure? Either way I do not have the correct drivers and I want to known how to get the correct ones.
