Maingear launches Apex liquid-cooled desktop gaming PCs

Maingear has launched two more models in its Apex line of liquid-cooled desktop gaming PCs. The new models are the Apex Force and the upgraded Apex Rush.

The high-end gaming PC maker said these state-of-the-art gaming PCs redefine performance, cooling, and customization for the most discerning gamers.

Apex Force

The Apex features a full-tower chassis design based on the popular Phanteks NV9, concealed rear external cable management, and panoramic tempered glass panels trimmed with a diffused illuminated
edge, that maximizes the premium aesthetics of the Force.

Inside, it’s immediately noticeable that Maingea spent a lot of time precisely engineering the Apex hardline cooling system with 10-degree offset tubing to perfectly mate with the chassis’ unique design language, making the Force a combination of functional design and engineering.

Upgradable RGB lighting accentuates the cooling components and premium hardware, it offers CPU and GPU cooling with dual 420mm ultra-thick (60mm) radiators, each topped with three 140mm thick (30mm) fans that surpass the cooling requirements of the desktop’s demanding components.

Designed for high-fidelity gaming, the Force keeps its cool but packs serious heat. Customers can opt for the latest and highest-performance CPUs from Intel and AMD, and the latest and highest-tier Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs.

With 65mm of bottom intake clearance, the Force’s vertical airflow system maintains cooler temperatures and quiet performance, utilizing the GPU loop to draw in cool air through the lower radiator and efficiently purging heat from the system through the CPU loop’s upper radiator.

Regular cooling maintenance and pump replacement is simplified with APEX FORCE’s redesigned quick-disconnect drain ports and pump locations, each accessible by removing a single panel.

Customization options are extensive with various coolant colors per loop, tubing materials, fittings, and
cable sleeving colors, ensuring your system is uniquely yours.

Supporting MG-RC rear connection motherboards, the Force eliminates visible motherboard cables for a clean, minimalist look. High-performance components like high-speed DDR5 memory and Gen4 NVMe SSDs ensure fast load times and low latency.

Precision optimization balances airflow and pressure for whisper-quiet acoustics with a bloatware-free operating system tailored for peak performance out of the box.

Apex Rush

The Apex Rush upgrade comes with a new dual-chamber mid-tower design with a panoramic tempered glass enclosure engineered to showcase the system’s premium hardware Maingear’s craftsmanship from every angle.

With the new Rush chassis, Maingear introduces a variety of customization capabilities, including a variety of hard and soft tubing options, as well as the ability to customize your system with painted chassis art available in three bespoke designs with physical matte and gloss layers for visual dimensionality.

When it comes to keeping things cool, Maingear custom developed and optimized its single loop
cooling system for uncompromising performance and efficiency. The dual 360mm radiators and six
120mm x 30mm fans deliver vertical cooling; in tandem, a rear-mounted, reverse blade intake fan produces positive case pressure, purging heat, while minimizing dust collection within the chassis. The exclusive Apex liquid cooling system combines a quiet pump, a high-capacity reservoir crafted from acrylic and parallel tubing with precision bends for premium performance and visual appeal.
