What you have to know
- PC builder MAINGEAR has revealed its makes an attempt to standardize rear-facing motherboard connections to make constructing gaming PCs a lot simpler and cleaner trying.
- MG-RC is the corporate’s patented design to maneuver cabled connections to the rear of the motherboard.
- MAINGEAR has partnered with MSI to make use of its Mission Zero motherboard in its first PC utilizing the brand new design.
Constructing gaming PCs is about to get an entire lot higher if the efforts of MAINGEAR and its companion MSI are something to go by. Introduced at CES 2024, MAINGEAR has a brand new patented design it is calling MG-RC which, in easy phrases, strikes the cabled connections on a motherboard to the again.
This implies not solely a cleaner look within the completed PC, for the reason that solely seen cables can be from the ability provide to your graphics card, but additionally a a lot much less irritating time really constructing the factor.
CES 2024 marks a milestone second for MAINGEAR as we redefine gaming PC aesthetics and
efficiency industry-wide. MG-RC represents MAINGEAR’s relentless pursuit of innovation within the PC gaming area, and embodies our mission to create the final word gaming expertise by way of superior merchandise and distinctive service.Wallace Santos, CEO of MAINGEAR.
Moreover making the entrance of the PC look a lot cleaner, and making it a lot less complicated to route and repair cables by transferring them to the again, there are different advantages. Much less cables on the entrance additionally means much less air turbulence, leading to a greater general airflow by way of the case. Higher airflow equals higher cooling efficiency.
MAINGEAR has submitted a patent for MG-RC which you’ll view right here, nevertheless it is not simply in regards to the firm’s personal PCs. MAINGEAR needs this to develop into a brand new customary and is working to push the {industry} ahead and undertake this new approach of constructing PCs, as naturally, it is not one thing that may simply robotically develop into appropriate with present PC case design.
Two new PCs in partnership with MSI and Phanteks
MAINGEAR has additionally partnered with MSI to make use of its new Mission Zero motherboard and, in a single case, the MAG Pano M1000 PZ White case to deal with all of it. The MAINGEAR Zero Drop can be coming later this month on January 24 in restricted portions, utilizing the advantages of MG-RC and packing the newly introduced NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous.
The opposite PC being proven off at CES is the NV9 Zero (pictured above) which is anticipated to develop into accessible sooner or later throughout Q1 of this yr. This makes use of the brand new Phanteks NV9 PC case, designed to be appropriate with MG-RC and once more, is predicated across the MSI Mission Zero motherboard.
The NV9 can even be MAINGEAR’s first time placing an LCD show onto one in every of its PCs, and internally will home an Intel Core i9-14900K, NVIDIA RTX 4080 Tremendous, and an infinite 420mm radiator, additionally from Phanteks, to maintain issues cool.
Why has it taken this lengthy to construct PCs this manner?
I’ve constructed numerous PCs in my time, however I do not assume I might ever really say I loved the method. Between bleeding each time I’ve needed to set up an I/O defend, to the relentless swearing attempting to feed tiny cables by way of and join them to the motherboard, it is a course of.
However, like all good PC builders, I do take delight within the look of my machine. There comes a degree although I simply surrender, as a result of cables are cables, and there is simply no hiding them. The thought behind that is music to my ears, and I actually cannot imagine it is taken this lengthy.
The again of the motherboard is principally useless area, and the again of the PC case is the place we disguise (or tidy for those who’re extra motivated than I’m) the cable mess anyway, so it makes excellent sense. It is simpler to route, simpler to attach, and leaves you with a clear trying entrance. I see completely no drawbacks right here, and hopefully the efforts of MAINGEAR, MSI and Phanteks catch on rapidly. I am not constructing one other PC till I can do it like this.
