Precision 3450 CPU Swap and RAID

I have a Precision 3450 with an Intel i5-10600.  I did not notice earlier that the 10th generation CPU only supports 2 NVME and an 11th gen is needed to support 3 devices, so I am contemplating a CPU swap. 

Intel makes a T version (i5-11500T) as well as the i5-11500 11th generation.  Does anyone know if the T version will happily work in the Precision 3450.  The std is on the spec sheet.  My goal is to have a boot drive (1 NVME) and use the other 2 drives as a RAID set.

I am more concerned about functionality than speed and any of these are miles ahead of what I currently run.  Not clear if this will run cooler or cheaper.

Thoughts, comments experience on both or either topic is appreciated.

Pointers to configuring RAID on this PC would also be great.

I have found this forum to be extremely short in it's capability for search, so if anyone has any related tips on using boolean search parameters that can get me a more focused answer than 10500 results of Precision 3450 RAID is also helpful
