So I've been giving myself some anxiety as I wait for all of my stuff to come in and I've come across a number of things regarding tualatin and pin/socket mods needed to get them working in 440BX slot 1 motherboards.

Now, I've scoured the datasheets for the Ezra and Ezra-T processors and the pinouts aren't exactly the same as a Tualatin (AK4, for instance, is VSS on Ezra and RSV on Ezra-T) but I'd juuust like to be sure as to whether or not I need to clear a space and grab my tools or if I can just drop the thing into the slotket and go provided the voltages are fine. My concern is more on the -T side since that's what I'm intending to use. I'm probably overthinking things since none of those are Tualatins but I'd like to not fry things on an assumption

Thanks in advance!

The info I've gathered to this point is either conflicting or doesn't really tell me what I need to know as far as needing to physically modify either the processor or the slotket

I ended up sourcing a Powerleap slotket that makes this not a problem (and modified BIOSes exist for the ga-6bxc with support for all this), but I think one of the 866MHz C3s I got turned out to be an Ezra-T so I can sure as hell still find something out with that I got once the motherboard rolls in. Of course, this hinges on the PWM being one that can support the voltages I think

Will update when I finally get to test anything just in case someone years from now runs into the same questions.
