Visually tell a socket 5 from a socket 7 pentium

[upnorth]

Dear community,


I realized that I am not really able to see the extra pin in a socket 7 pentium, or then all my pentiums are socket 7. Most likely I just don't know where to look. Which one is the extra pin in a Socket 7 pentium, or where is the missing pin in a socket 5?

The pin is in the outer corner of the grid. According to pics, it would be the corner where the lever is pressed down towards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_5 look at the top left of the socket.

Sorry about that. I remembered it was in the corner but went for the wrong corner. Look at the inner side lower right. There is an extra hole making near the corner notch on socket 7.

Edit: Glad you found it.
