204 - June

This issue, we've got everything you need to build your first watercooled PC. From picking the right case, to installing a reservoir and bending the tubing, our complete beginner's guide will have you liquid cooling your system in no time. We'll also teach you how to customize, maintain and overclock your system so that you can eke out every last drop of performance from your near-silent PC! But there's not just one build in this issue -- I took on the challenge of building a system from just a single manufacturer in my all-MSI build. MSI has a load of new products out this year, including its first ever SSD, so I took in a huge delivery of their gear and got to work. Is it easier to stick with one manufacturer, or is it better to mix things up? Find out this issue. Elsewhere, we have an epic GPU head-to-head featuring all of the major cards released in the last eight years. Our extensive specs and benchmarks show not only how far Nvidia and AMD have come, but help you pick the right card no matter your budget. It’s the most meticulous GPU feature you'll see, and it's all in this month's Maximum PC.

Finally, we also review Alienware's awesome (and affordable) new OLED, timed perfectly to coincide with our in-depth look at all the biggest advancements in displays coming our way this year. Most of us have moved on to high refresh rate displays, but should we now be looking at new screen tech, wider formats, more pixels, improved connectivity, or anything else? We break it all down and tell you what you should be looking for in your next monitor. Of course, it wouldn't be Maximum PC if it wasn't stuffed with reviews of all the latest and greatest tech, and this time we've got full verdicts on the new Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti flagship graphics card, the $5000 Velocity Micro Raptor Z55 desktop PC, and Lenovo's 2022 update to its popular Legion 5i Pro laptop.
