Pendragon1, that one might well be the ticket. The price works too. That 10.5 x 23.5 height range; I am assuming that is from the center of the VESA bracket. If so I could set the bottom of the monitor pretty low if needed.

I have an old Dell U3011 30 inch monitor that is still kicking really well. I want to put that thing on a new arm. I think it weighs between 20 and 25 pounds without the stand. The arm needs to be a clamp on and would like it to have lots of movement. The old one has gotten to the point where it...

My Windows 7 is an OEM from a past build so it looks like a new key is needed. Will see.

The real question is which VM software is best or does it really matter? Virtual Box, VM Ware, the app in Windows 10 Pro or something else. ? Will be my first Virtual Machine. Basically the main reason for it is some Windows 7 software I have and want to use that won't install on Windows 10...

Thanks for the above replies. The only reason I am still using and may need to still use Windows 7 is some business software that won't run on Windows 10....supposedly! Once I get the dual boot up I will find out about that for sure. If it won't run (which I expect it won't) or I can't find a...

So I am going to add a new SSD. Not sure yet but either a 1 TB Samsung 860 EVO or Pro. Looks like the EVO might be the ticket. Though prices look to be dropping some and the EVO does have 1/2 the TBW's of the Pro. Probably not an issue. So on the comp I am dealing with, I built. It has Windows...

I guess no one has flashed this thing. There does seem to be one Marvel file on the Asus site but it is a few years old. Wonder if there is a newer one over at Marvel. But the Asus one might be the last safe one for this chip. Considering if I want to be the guinea pig. That old saying is...

OK I checked it. All is well.

That's exactly how I took the Hiberfil file out of there. A whole lot of instant disc space. Couldn't find a stop code. Wondering if Windows didn't get far enough up to write it before the BSOD. On the Samsung Data Migration program I am not going to endorse it as I have only used it once. But...

OK my SSD came in and I have cloned it. I Actually did not use Macrium. I took a look at the Samsung Data Migration software that came with it and decided to give it a try. I figured if it was no good I would just go back to Macrium Reflect. But it worked fine. It is obviously made for...

So the Intel 6g sata 3 on this board is way better than the Marvel. That is fairly known. I did a test with a Crucial M4 256. Plugged into the Marvel 6g port it gets : Sequential Reads: 352 Sequential Write: 153 Random Read: 43803 Random Write: 26649 Plugged into an Intel 3g Sata it gets...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like cloning a C drive is really no different than any other drive then. Sounds good. I will probably still use Macrium Reflect since I have used it before. But I will search around and take a look at the Samsung Software too. My SSD is not here yet so if there are...

Have a Samsung 850 Pro 256gb on the way and when it gets here I will be cloning from a Vertex 3 120gb with Windows 7 on it. I will be using Macrium Reflect. I have cloned a few drives but never a C drive. After searching around I read that it is best to unhide all of the hidden files in Windows...

It gets to the Blue Shutting Down screen and then just sits there. If I leave it for a while it goes to the Blue Screen of Death. I usually just hit the power button right before that. Not sure what caused this. Nothing really new installed. But I have narrowed it down to a Service. When I go to...

Have a WD Raptor 600 drive that I took out of an old build and put in a newer one running Windows 7. It worked fine for about 2 years. I go on Vacation and come back to find the drive not showing up in My Computer. In Disk Management it showed as Disk 4 Dynamic Import Failed. To the right of...

So I popped this drive in the comp a few ago and so far it has not given me the Finger! Hope I run into the guy with the Un-Real info so I can tell him I have 5 drives in here. That's a first for me, never more than 4 before. Thanks for the comments!

Thanks for the replies. The guy didn't say what the problems were. It was a quick comment and I left it at that. 16 drives on Windows 7, well that pretty well answers the question. I guess the info I got was....Surreal ! ;) I am just gonna plug this drive in and see what happens. Nice to...

I have Windows 7 on this comp. I also have 4 drives in it. 2 SSD's: a Vertex 120, and an M4 256. The other 2 drives are HD's: a WD 2Terrabyte mostly for data, music ect, and I have a Raptor 600 which I moved from and old comp when I built this one. It still has a bunch of games and files on it...

I bought a new Western Digital 2 terabyte drive to replace one that is a lot smaller. Need more storage. I need to clone the old drive to the new one. Same drive letter and all. Is there a good free ware program I can use to do that or do I need to buy a copy of Norton Ghost? Any help or advice...

Thanks guys, I will check all of this out.

Hope I have this in the right forum. I have MP3's and AAC's that have been ripped from CD's with a bunch of different programs over many years. I have some that I bought directly as well. What I have now is a big music library with widely varying volume levels. Is there a good program out there...

Just noted a typo in the thread name. The processor is an Intel I7 2600K Never bought a 16 gig matched set before. Looks like either of these will work with what I have. But the Corsair does not specifically say it works in my Mobo. Just being sure. Anyone see any issues with this Memory...

Well this thread is pretty long and I could spend days trying to filter through it all. Right now have my U3011 set on sRGB, seems to be the preset of choice for me. But I want to try a custom setting. Are there any settings that have worked well for people on here that you would post. I would...

crtzy, That's good info. Was just on your site and noticed that the horizontal rise on the 7500 is 18 inches. Did not notice that before. One thing I did not see: Does this arm have a stop mechanism that can be engaged so the arm will not go past the back edge of the desk when pushed back? I...

Thanks for the replies. At the moment I am leaning towards the Humanscale M8. Several places are selling it for under $300.00. Pricey yeah, but it looks solid and should last quite a while. Will hold off a bit in case there are any other ideas.

I want to get this Dell U3011 monitor off the desk and claim some more space. Have been searching around for arms that will hold this. There is a Humanscale M8 and an Innovative Heavy Duty Radial that I found. Links below! I searched but there is not much to read here about these. Anyone using...

Thought I would make a final post to this one. I changed the settings in the Bios to an XMP Profile right after the last post. The comp booted just fine with no errors. So I shut down and re-inserted the two Dimms of memory I had removed and thought might have gone bad. Back to a total of 16...

Well mine just arrived. Can't even open it and set it up yet. Things to finish around the house first. But thought I would post that is was Assembled in Mexico in October of 2011 and is a Rev A05. Be curious to see what I think of it once it is all set up and running.

Thanks for the reply guys. I actually thought of the XMP profile but have not tried those yet. Memory is set as Auto and has been for months. But will try the XMP setting and see what happens. Did not know the Gskill thing about 2 8 gig sets not working right. But when I bought the Dimms I could...

Have an odd one. Built this system right after the B3 stepping came out. Has been just fine. Couple of days ago I booted up and it did not post, the system clicked, re-started, and still no post, just sat there. Note that I was NOT overclocking. I tried booting a few times and it finally got to...

That would be a nice choice. It would give me something to think about. But alas........................! Doesn't look like there is anything new on the drawing board for the near future. S0.....I guess tomorrow I will call up a Dell Sales Rep and finagle with them on the U3011!

That's good to hear. Am running a Logitech G700 gaming mouse here so that ought to help. And my build is basically new with pretty high end stuff. If I go for the U3011 maybe I won't noticeably lag as well.

Yeah, believe it or not I am still using a Dell 2405 which I bought they day they came out. It has higher input lag than the U3011. So I am wondering if the U3011 would be an improvement for me in that area or if how it affects you can vary by monitor. Just not a lot of choices in the 30 inch realm.

At this point it looks like the Dell U3011 is the ticket if I can whittle the price down on the phone with a sales rep. I sure would like the the 35 percent off that happened at the first of this year. But I thought I would ask, is there anything new 30 inch wise from any manufacturer about...

They have had the Crucial M4 256 gig SSD for $419.00 for some time. But today June 13th there is also a coupon worth $20.00 you can attach. It looks to be good for today only and is a Fathers Day thing. The Code is: LION2320 The code brings it to $399.00 total including shipping. At least...

Thanks for the reply Curlysir, 32 gig Patriot Supersonic it is. Those Super Talent Super Crypt's are interesting though. A bit large as you noted but they sure have the specs. About a month or so ago I saw a different brand while surfing here. Someone had made a post referencing them and I...

Looking for a new USB flash drive and want a USB 3 version. Probably 32 gig but possibly more. The only one I have seen with pretty quick speeds is the Patriot Supersonic variety. Are there any others out there? Looking for choices and the faster the better.

Curious, the Vertex 3 240 gig up there, it it the same as this one but just an OEM version? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227707 Or is there some other difference?

Thanks guys! I never thought of plumbers tape. Have that and Loctite. I guess I will just use a dab of one or the other. The Loctite may look better. I have an elbow torque wrench as well. ;)

Am just wondering if it is advisable to put some locktite or thread sealer on the screws when installing just for a bit more holding strength and security Anyone ever had one come loose?
