One more thing to add is the V3-772G did not have any white listing in their BIOS, claim by the Acer Technician himself

Quote

Acer-Justin: We do not have any whitelists for the SSD, wireless, or BT because we only tested what we put in those connections/slots. There are other pieces of hardware that may/will work in those connections/slots. (http://community.acer.com/t5/V-and-VN-Series/Acer-Aspire-V3-772G-unknown-Motherboard-port-and-mPCI-E/td-p/357012)

It looks far more easier with an ATX PSU, I have the very same problem as you and I plan to buy one and test it out soon.

Great but be careful when connecting the 4-pin cable, it seems a fault connection will result killing the entire eGPU.

I had used my first Beast for couple of days and then I broke it by connecting wrong 4-PIN power cable from ATX PSU - be very careful when you first connect it, then bought a replacement and have been using it heavily for 3 month now with no Gen2 glitches.  (https://forum.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/7625-17-acer-v3-771g-gtx980ti4gbps-mpcie2-exp-gdc-beast-win764-rgpu/)

Per https://forum.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/8747-mpcie-egpu-troubleshooting-steps/#post149873 did you try to jumper the PSU to be always on rather than the EXP GDC powering it on upon detecting 3.3V? It's possible to jumper the Dell DA-2 (as explained in the Dell DA-2 thread) but easier with an ATX PSU if you have one handy. Even if just for testing purposes.

I wish to try. But I am uncertain to deal with psu due to lack of skills and knowledge of this area and may eventually risk my equipment or even my life. Is there an alternative?

Hello guys

I have some problem regarding to implementing eGPU on Acer V3-772G-9822 with EXP GDC Beast. Here is the specification

Notebook: Acer V3-772G-9822

OS: Windows 8.1 64bit

CPU: i7-4702MQ

iGPU: Intel 4600

dGPU: GTX760M

Adapter: EXP GDC Beast

eGPU (Plan): ASUS STRIX GTX960 DC2OC 2GDDR5

Yesterday I was tried to get the eGPU work by replacing the mPCIE wifi slot with my eGPU adapter. After I push the power button, the external monitor shows nothing but no signal warning, both HDMI slot on laptop and eGPU have the same result. But then I somehow managed to get the GTX960 show on the device manager using "sleep system, swap wifi card for mPCIe eGPU adapter method" (https://forum.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/8747-mpcie-egpu-troubleshooting-steps/#post149873) but with code 12 and hang right after reboot.

After all I realize my acer hang before the BIOS load up, turn out it may related to the #PERST problem ( https://forum.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/8350-pe4x-series-understanding-clkreq-and-perst-delay/&_fromLogin=1 ). This morning I block the PERST signal by placing a small tape over the pin 22. This time the acer boot  successfully to the OS with eGPU connected, the eGPU fan is spinning and all things go well until I found out that the acer fail to recognize my eGPU.

Even I tried with "DIY eGPU Setup 1.3x", enable the wifi port and do a rescan, reboot and rescan or using the sleep method before. The laptop still cannot catch the eGPU signal. 

Did anyone have the same experience with me? Any possible solutions? Please help guys and thank you!
