Re: Acer Aspire V3-772G - SSD

bekshind — Sat, 03 May 2014 09:12:53 GMT

Hi,

Well I had similar situation, and here is what I did:

-I managed to get hold on a image of clean win 8.1. (You get the hint), and made a bootable win8 usb

-Write your Win 8 serial number

-Disconnect HDD and leave only SSD

-Install win 8 from usb

-Your win 8 serial number is in UEFI, but when i installed win 8.1 I was asked for serial

-After win 8 instalation is over you can connect HDD and format it

-You should search this forum for the information in which bay is better to install SSD (something concerning SATA speeds)

-Benefit of this fresh instalation is that you can avoid installation of all the oem bloatware that came with the laptop

So this was my way, and it is working without a single problem from october 13

Hope it helps

Re: v3-772G thermal paste change, overheating, cleaning

bekshind — Sat, 03 May 2014 08:28:04 GMT

Hi,

Well I to have v3-772, and was amazed by the temperatures of cpu in gaming, my solution was a good active cooling pad, it cools down the cpu by 10°C in some cases. I think there's no way you can change thermal paste without voiding the warranty, and you can clean venting ducts by using a compresed air (or the hair dryer)...

Hope it helps

I have almost the same laptop, mine is also v3-772g but with 1TB HD and 120GB that I installed on my own, and also 8gb of RAM and nvidia 760m, so in gaming it's the same like 747a8G75Makk. Well, this is my second ACER, and like before I'm very satisfied. From time to time I play all kind of aviation simulations, with all settings on max, and performance of Laptop is very good. Temperature of CPU on idle is around 45°C, and in game on 100% is 99°C, and GPU in game is around 67°C. On subjective side, laptop is warm only in top left corner when in game, rest of the laptom is cold, and when in idle even the left top corner is cold... Last month I bought a Laptop cooler pad (thermaltake) and after that temperatures droped around 10°C.

Hope it helps

Re: Acer Aspire V3-772G-9829 screen type glossy or matte

bekshind — Sun, 22 Dec 2013 07:37:17 GMT

The screen is matte, and in my opinion it's far better than glossy (previously I owned extensa 5630 with a glossy screen)

Have a nice day

Well I red all a cross this forum and there are a lot of people having problems with this notebook, all I can say that I got mine from newegg, it was V3-772G-9821 with windows 8 and BIOS v1.08, it was working perfectly without any problem. I installed aditional SSD (samsung 120 Gb) for windows and applications, again without problem, then installed fresh copy of windows 8 without bloatware, and upgrade it to 8.1, again without problem. All I can say that I'm very happy with this rig. A lot of problems that people are having, in my opinion, is conected with poor BIOS, and I'm not upgrading mine because 1.08 is rock solid for me, I don't know if you tried this version of BIOS, maybe it's not solution for you, but you can try it, ofcourse there are some risks...

Hope it helps!

This is the bracket, but if you seaarch the internet, you will find a lot of the stores that have them (as I understand the bracket from v3-771 are the same, so it woul fit)

So, these are first results when you google "acer v3-772g windows 7" http://driver-lap.blogspot.com/2013/07/acer-aspire-v3-772g-drivers-for-windows.html. and http://laptop-drivers-uk.blogspot.com/2013/08/acer-aspire-v3-772g-drivers-for-windows.html. Never tried them because after initial unfriendlines, I got to like the win 8.

Hope it helps

Re: Acer Aspire V3-772G - SSD

bekshind — Sat, 09 Nov 2013 21:15:40 GMT

You, ofcourse, have 2 HDD bays, and an extra space for msata drive. For puting an SSD to your HDD bay you'll need special HDD bracket, same that is on your 750 GB hard drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA3AN12R4801, or you could google it out to find a better bargain, but you could improvise like a guy in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVLGfyeNPY0 (it's a v3-771, but it has the same layout like ours 772) it's important that your SSD is fixed when you install it. I instaled mine that way and everything is OK.

bekshind — Sun, 06 Oct 2013 21:19:37 GMT

A lot of people had similar problem with v3-772 (you have a typo in the topic name ), problem was usually bios v1.11, so they downgraded to v1.08 ( you could download it from official acer website).

Re: Aspire v3-772g shuts down after 15 seconds in game

bekshind — Sun, 06 Oct 2013 21:07:52 GMT

I bought the same model (didn't arrived yet though), so before I made a purchase I went trough this forum to see if there are any problems with it, I discovered that a lot of people had isues with bios v 1.11, so if you have that version maybe you should downgrade to v 1.08 (you can find it on official acer website). Hope it helps

Re: V3-772G 2nd HDD & USB 3.0

bekshind — Sat, 21 Sep 2013 20:34:33 GMT

You can install second ssd, but you'll need bracket to keep it safe in place, second solution is to install msata SSD (which are more expensive) in a dedicated slot (not the one for sata SSD or HDD) then you won't need any brackets. There are good images of interior in this site: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-Aspire-V3-772G-747A321-Notebook.93916.0.html
