Following on the heels of the shroud Signature Edition Gaming PC reveal at CES 2025, MAINGEAR has set a new benchmark with the announcement of two revolutionary systems: the APEX FORCE and the upgraded APEX RUSH. Although 2024 was the year of the air cooler, these open-loop cooled machines redefine gaming performance, cooling innovation, and aesthetic customization, catering to the most demanding enthusiasts and gamers. It’s almost like MAINGEAR is starting off 2025 with a just because you don’t have to doesn’t mean you shouldn’t attitude.
“Our new APEX RUSH and APEX FORCE desktops continue MAINGEAR’s legacy of elevating the gaming PC benchmark across the industry,” said Wallace Santos, CEO of MAINGEAR. “Designed from the inside out with relentless attention to every detail, each delivers premium performance and features truly unique cooling. These new systems build upon our commitment to prioritizing expressive design, cutting-edge hardware, and innovative engineering. With APEX, we create PCs that aren’t just machines; they’re masterpieces.”
APEX FORCE: There’s No Replacement for Displacement
The APEX FORCE is not just a gaming PC; it’s a statement of unparalleled craftsmanship. Built around the Phanteks NV9 full-tower chassis, the FORCE showcases concealed rear cable management, panoramic tempered glass panels with illuminated edges, and MAINGEAR’s precisely engineered APEX hardline cooling system. Its custom 10-degree offset tubing that matches the case’s design and dual-loop cooling design make the FORCE a masterpiece of form and function.
With dual 420mm ultra-thick radiators (60mm) and six 140mm fans (30mm thick), the APEX FORCE delivers whisper-quiet acoustics while keeping even the most demanding CPUs and GPUs cool. Gamers can configure the system with the latest high-end processors from Intel and AMD, paired with NVIDIA’s top-tier GeForce RTX GPUs, ensuring unrivaled performance for high-fidelity gaming and creative workflows.
Customization takes center stage with options for coolant colors, tubing materials, fittings, and braided cable sleeving. The vertical airflow design, along with easily accessible quick-disconnect ports, ensures effortless maintenance. Supporting MG-RC rear connection motherboards, the FORCE eliminates visible cables for a minimalist aesthetic that complements its jaw-dropping power.
