Predator AG3-605-UR1D - Bay Swap Easy?

I just bought the predator AG3-605-UR1D.  I saw that he has what they call an Easy Swap Bay in front - it has an orange button on it and I understand that you can put a hard drive in there for the extra space.  I have a hard drive and ready to go, but I'm unable to get the Bay Easy Swap out.

I read that its as simple as pushing the orange button and pulling on it, but I can't seem to break away.  I noticed a screw on the left side of the Bay - what I should it unscrew out of the Bay?

Any help would be great!

I solved the problem!  The screw is indeed the reason why it was not opening of the Bay.  For all users with this chassis, you will need a torx screwdriver, unscrew.

  • Acer Predator AG3-605 case fans?

    Hello, I saw that the predator AG3-605 does not come with box fans, but has the slots for them, I just wanted to know what size fan do I need for the side and rear of the case.

    Saniro,

    You made a good observation, but the system is designed for energy efficiency and the optimal use of the way in which it has been designed from the factory. I just found a location for a system fan and it's backward. Looks like it can accommodate 80mm or 120mm fan, but I'm not sure that these specifications are not included because it was not designed with the idea of using or needing the extra airflow.

  • AG3 605 UR1D GTX 970

    I recently bought the 4 GB Zotac GTX 970 version.

    I own the 605-UR1D, with a power of 500w. However, it is said 484 max on feeding. I was running the graphics card very well, until I checked the tempature. Initially, the tempature of graphics card went up only - it reached a maximum of 90 degrees centigrade if I remember.

    After a few minutes, the processor and card mother MeltMC began rapidly rising. It was 68 degrees centigrade - he could high, but I don't remember.

    I heard that it is generally OK for most computers to perform at these MeltMC, but I'm not sure on the 605-UR1D

    If I can get help before I decide to return in the coming days, would be great.

  • How correctly to install RAM in my Acer Predator AG3-605-UR2F

    I have to get out the existing 8 GB of ram that it comes with? I have to do something for the operating system so that it recognizes the new ram once I install it? (Beginner)

    to take on the original of the ram, it depends on how much ram you need.

    8GB is a good amount, but if you wanto to raise 16 GB and your Predator has only 2 RAM sticks, you can add a different RAM sticks 2 without removing the original ram but sticks

    2 new RAM sticks must be exactly the same as the original or you will face a lot of questions.

    If you want to raise up to 32 GB of ram, you can buy 4 8 GB ram sticks, so take off the original.

    On the OS, there is no problem, the program will automatically configure at least if BIOS recognizes the right amount of ram installed.

  • Motherboard on Predator G3-605 and RAM

    Good afternoon - well at least for my part of the world. :-)

    I bought an Acer Predator G3-605 (new) a little over a week ago.

    I have to admit that it's such a long time ago since I have read on different data components, and I still have knowledge of black holes in particular as to the compatibility.

    I have two questions: the compatibility a rearding first and a second related to something else.

    Question 1:

    After some research, I found that the motherboard is indeed called "Predator G3 - 605'.» Well, on on the net-based stores carrying this model of Acer, the record shows that the RAM is 1600 MHz. I am yet to know (from my black holes of the knowledge of the computer) If this detailed specification showed information for specific components of RAM installed, or if this MSL tells that this megaherz / RAM type, which is the only type that can manage the card mother Predator G3 - 605?

    I ask because I want to upgrade the RAM in the machine, and I wonder if I need to stay below the megaherz listed under the plug, or if I can use other megaherz, as long as I keep DDR3 - naturally -?

    For you who have a good knowledge of computers in general, this first issue of the mine should be very easy to answer.

    Question 2:

    This issue is related to my attempt at an online chat after that I registered my Predator G3 - 605 an hour ago, I've done through the program "Acer Portal" which was already on my machine. So, immediately showed as registered successfully, but when I went on the chat, and plotted in my serial number, this info came:

    «Our records indicate that you have entered the serial number is no longer eligible to warranty support.»

    If you feel that this information is incorrect, please analyze and present a copy of your proof of purchase. »

    (I have download the documents a few moments ago.)

    I realize that this must be because I'm from Europe that I probably can't get help via a chat, but I still react on the info where my machine supposedly is not eligible for warranty support, that looks like my machine is too old for her.

    I guess also that my machine do not appear as "eligible for warranty support" even though I downloaded the documents, and I have to call my local Acer support for all kinds of questions.

    Should not rather the info automated show that the product is in warranty period, but not eligible to support from outside the country of purchase?

    Fortunately this community exists, and I know that communities like these are usually a great help!

    Especially easy question I had expected an easy game for many people. :-)

    Thanks for your time.

    If the finder memory does not work, you can always contact their sales dept to ensure you buy the right product.

    It's always a more sure bet to buy ram with the same voltage than what you have installed, but I would probably check with Kingston.

  • AG3-605: CPU cooler for the cpu: which?

    As I am closed for rebuild my AG3-605 with a new motherboard (the same as the damaged), I want to try a new CPU cooler.

    It's not easy to find one. Noctua NH - L12 seems to be one that can fill my reconstruction. But I'm not so geeky that you might believe and confirmation of my choice would be great. It is up to you! And thank you!

    Hi jaclou,

    I am pleased to learn that you have purchased a new MB. Delay was pretty quick.

    I tried to replace my old office by another brand fans.

    Unfortunately, the management of speeds was wrong question so heat. The thermal module or the smart fan is set for fans of the original (speed / voltage / PWM %).

    We have only two options: full or restricted speed.

    For example radiator fan speed: 4200 ~ 4500 rpm and fan speed: 2200 ~ 2500 RPM.

    I tried to manage the different speeds with Speedfan, but after a few days I noticed that the bios was "troubled."

    Well, I ordered original Sunon fans.

    Question:

    You already have a case fan?

  • Nine Acer Predator G3-605 starts windows 8

    Hello.
    I got my Acer Predator G3 605 last week, but the system was slow.
    So I decided to put my SSD OCZ Agility 120 GB 2 expansion slot and instal windows drive there.
    As a first step, it starts up fine and work fast. I installed all the updates and soft, reboot several times and no problems.
    After I put everything I have delete the windows HARD disk partition. Then system stop when windows starts.

    So far, I tried this:
    1. several resettlement on the SSD and HDD image or clean install.
    2. all the BIOS for SECURE BOOT settings (on/stop/standard/custom/key on / key removed) and CSM.
    3. I connect only SSD or HDD only and do recover or new installation.
    4 delete all partitions and recover / clean installation.
    5. update of the BIOS/SSD firmware
    6 recovery discs acer does not help. Even that resetting the BIOS.

    Nothing helps. He works until the 'Configuration' window material and after the reboot that it stuck.
    No idea what can be wrong and how to fix it?
    I do not know more
    Thanks for any help.

    I finally found a solution by myself, so I'll post my solution here in case someone will have the same problem.
    It works for me, can't promise it will work for everyone.

    My step by step solution:
    1. I created WindowsToGo on my USB with this statement:
    http://www.TomsHardware.co.UK/FAQ/ID-1867613/create-Windows-drive-Windows-enterprise.html
    2. from Acer Support I have download all the latest drivers for my Acer Predator G3 605 and extract everything to a special folder on my USB key
    3. I disconnect my HDD SATA cable drive (there is still no connected SSD)
    4. in the bios I have disable startup secure, activate the start menu and CSM always turn on
    5. After restart I press F12 and the start menu, I selected my USB with WinToGo
    6. once my Windows go hardware and post installation preparation I finally see the start menu.
    7. the first thing to do was connect my HDD SATA cable so windows automatically detects the drive
    8. I open prompt by admin, type diskpart, and then list disk, my HARD drive has disk 0 so I type select disk 0, then clean type
    9. I have installed all the drivers for my Acer and restart
    10 after restarting, I go to my pre downloaded BIOS updated and open the app updated
    11 choose ROM file, choose update all (not only part of pre selected), then click FLASH
    12 reboot, unplug my USB and put it in my installation USB Windows 8 key (DVD can also be used)
    13. from Windows install go to advance the installation and choose the HARD drive (in this point installation program said that cannot be installed on this drive as bios don't have drivers, but I could still create partition, so I did two create and click Next)
    14. After all server files have been copied computer auto restart
    15 Windows 8 shows the information for the preparation of the devices (it was the last part of work for me before, cuz after computer restart blocked)
    16. after restarting Windows boot and go to the Customization screen. Everything works.

    I have to keep secure boot off and CSM on yet.

  • Re: Acer Predator G3-605-UR2F desktop computer. Are open PCIe slots v3.0?

    I recently bought a new Predator G3-605-UR2F.  While I find that the machine has two PCIe x 1, I can't find out if these locations are compatible v3.0 (or?).  I am particularly interested in installing one of the new Intel 750 Series SSD which use the PCI rather than SATA III interface to significantly increase the speed of R/W.  Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Thank you very much. According to what I read today, the machine has indeed the B85 Intel chipset, so I'll give you upward on the new Intel PCIe SSD at the moment. Thanks again for your insight!

  • Gel with my Acer predator g3-605

    Hello

    First of all, I would say I'm sorry for my bad English because it is not my mother tongue.

    So here's my problem: since I bought my acer predator g3-605 I gel on it when I play games.

    I searched and found that I am not the only one having these gel but none of the solutions helped me.

    I tried a lot of solutions such as:

    • Update the drivers via Geforce experience
    • Uninstall/reinstall applications/games that freeze
    • Move the games/applications on the disk HARD or, on the contrary, to the SSD.
    • Factory (!) "restart" at the beginning

    I found a similar post of my friends on this forum, but the only solution for him was to send his pc to replace it with another computer, and I'd found a solution without changing my PC.

    With our thanks,

    I think your motherboard is faulty. I suggest you contact your Acer support.

    Sorry I can't help you more.

  • How does the predator AG3 used together the 128 GB ssd and hard drive 2 TB

    I am considering buying a predator AG3 at Costco.  It comes with a 2 TB HDD and ssd 128 b.  How the system is used both in combination?  The ssd is only for boot?  Windows will be on the SSD.  The system will know to go on the HARD disk for programs not on the SSD drive?  I have no experience using a system with two disks of a different type.

    SSD is usually used as installation of the OS and some heavy load programs (editing - audio - video)

    HARD drive is used as data storage or install programs of large size (for most games).

    System does not know where you want to install it that way, he asks during installation

    example of

    C:\Program Files\gamenameXYZ

    You can tell the installer to use instead of C: on SSD HARD drive, so you will change from C to D (if your HARD drive is D: letter of the system)

    D:\Program Files\gamenameXYZ
