Maingear releases two premium liquid cooled PCs
When it comes to building gaming PCs, Maingear has a reputation for combining raw power with stunning design. Now, the company has raised the bar again with the launch of two new premium desktops: the Apex Force and the fourth-generation Apex Rush. Both are packed with high-end components, advanced cooling systems, and countless customization options. These aren’t regular gaming PCs, as they are built for serious gamers who want top-tier performance.

The Apex Force
The Apex Force, starting at $7,469, is Maingear’s new flagship desktop. It’s built inside the massive Phanteks NV9 full-tower chassis, which provides plenty of room for the most powerful hardware available today. The Force looks stunning from the outside, with panoramic tempered glass panels that let you view the entire system and a glowing illuminated edge that adds a premium finish.
But what makes the Apex Force truly stand out is its custom dual-loop hardline cooling system. The system uses two 420mm radiators paired with six large RGB fans, thanks to which both the CPU and GPU will stay cool, even during extended gaming and work sessions. The dual-loop setup also allows the CPU and GPU to run on separate cooling paths, which makes everything even better.
As far as the components are concerned, gamers can choose between the latest Intel or AMD Ryzen processors, including the Ryzen 9700X and 9950X3D, and opt for either the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090. These are high-end options from the latest RTX 50-series, with the RTX 5090 being the most powerful gaming GPU available today.

The system also offers up to 64GB of DDR5 6000MHz, and up to 96GB at 6400MHz. Storage isn’t an issue either, as Maingear lets you select up to 8TB Gen4 or 4TB Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSDs. The best part is that you’ll also get full creative controls. This is because everything from coolant colors and tubing styles to metal fittings and RGB zones can be customized.
The Apex Rush
For those who want a slightly more compact option without sacrificing performance, Maingear is offering the Apex Rush, starting at $6,259. While the Force is a brand-new entry, the Rush is a fourth-generation version of an already existing lineup. Built inside the Lian Li O11 EVO RGB mid-tower, the Rush features a dual-chamber design that separates the cooling system from the main components, creating a clean look with excellent airflow.
The Rush uses a single-loop custom liquid cooling system with two 360mm radiators and seven RGB fans. There’s also a reverse-blade rear intake fan that helps keep the dust out while ensuring the inside stays cool and stable under heavy load. Like the Force, it supports the latest Intel and AMD CPUs and Nvidia’s RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs, paired with fast DDR5 memory and large NVMe storage drives.
Customization is also a huge part of the Rush. Maingear offers more than 10,000 design combinations, from soft or hard tubing options to custom chassis artwork with matte and gloss finishes, along with multiple translucent coolant color options.
