Innholdsfortegnelse for March 2025 i Maximum PC

A dream shared by PC gamers everywhere has been to take our entire gaming PCs on the go. The latest generation of gaming handhelds deliver on that portable nirvana, enabling gaming from near enough anywhere. But which one should you go for? A key choice is between SteamOS and Windows—after that, you generally have to play off size against power. Here are the ones that get our recommendation. 5 AYANEO FLIP DS This is compact, portable, and versatile. Its dual-screen setup allows for clever trackpad and keyboard solutions to handheld navigation woes. What’s more, it’s not only small, but safer in a backpack, given the screens and controls are somewhat protected when closed. However, you sacrifice a little performance for the design. If it’s value for specifications and performance that…

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE PG.22 THIS IS TOO MUCH. It is. This launch is unlike anything we’ve seen. There are no excuses that can be bandied around here—no chip shortages, no logistical woes to worry about, or Covid working from home demand. This is just pure madness. Pure desire. Pure, unadulterated power—if you can find one, at least. We are, of course, talking about Nvidia’s latest flagship GPU. The RTX 5090 has finally ‘launched’ across the globe, and the demand has been phenomenal. The availability is extraordinarily low. Right now, you can’t even pre-order the thing in most continents; some sellers have stock ETAs of up to 16 weeks. It’s understandable, to an extent. Nvidia’s 50 series, based on the Blackwell architecture, on paper sounds like a phenomenal step-up in overall performance, delivering…

HOW WE TEST At Maximum PC, we’re big fans of tests, data, and numbers. It’s a pivotal part of what makes this job so interesting. It’s also a big part of how we hold this industry to account. Nvidia telling us that the RTX 5070 is equally as potent as a 4090 is all well and good, but unless that’s proven, this is nothing more than a marketing pitch designed to get you to part with your hard-earned money. With that in mind, every system we build here is put through a whole arsenal of tests to really get to grips with how it ticks and what performance it delivers. We cover everything: CPU performance, SSD speed, gaming, and AI. Basically, we cover pretty much everything we can, each and…

BUILDING SYSTEMS is what we do here at Maximum PC. It’s the bread and butter of what makes this publication what it is. Over the years, we’ve built a whole host of systems, targeting every concept, budget, and product you can imagine—all in an attempt to keep things fresh, topical, and up to date. With that comes knowledge—buckets of the stuff. It almost becomes intuitive, knowing what components will fit where, how much a chassis can take, how best to take advantage of cooling in a case, which hardware to pick to make life easy, and what components represent the best bang for the buck. But it’s perhaps something that we’ve often taken for granted. In our February issue, we had a great community question on page 95. Blake Wells…

If all you’re interested in is reliability, then you need to specifically look for that. A good rule of thumb is to go with trusted brands with good, solid warranties or recovery services. Seagate, Noctua, Crucial, Seasonic, EVGA, Corsair, and Samsung are a few that come to mind. Additionally, think about reducing moving components to a minimum. Anything that spins or has mechanical parts is likely to break. Get rid of anything that can add additional unnecessary heat, and find components that are well built and secure: M.2 drives instead of 2.5-inch drives; better and more robust cooled graphics cards; air towers instead of AIOs, and big 140mm fans instead of 120mm ones. Then, consider what you can do with your system itself. Keep fan RPMs stable at a fixed…

NOW THAT WE’VE identified our core parts and what we need, it’s time to move on to deciding exactly what case we’re going to use and how to check compatibility. It goes without saying that if you want the simplest build possible, get a big chassis; something on the bigger end of a midtower or ATX build will do you wonders. Stick with an ATX motherboard, stay with M.2 SSDs, and find yourself a good, simple cooler to install. Combine that with a modular power supply, and it’s not too difficult to get a system up and running in even under an hour. When we’re reviewing cases in particular, we’re always trying to identify features that will make a build easier to manage. In an ideal world, things like removable…

It’s almost impossible to talk about platform emulation without mentioning Apple, a company that has used emulator technology not once, but three times in its history to pull off major platform moves. The most recent, of course, was with the launch of its own-brand M-series processors, based on a licensed implementation of the ARM architecture. The new design offered better performance and power consumption than the Intel chips the company had previously been using, but since the Intel architecture had been the status quo for the previous 15 years, when the M1 came along in 2020, it was incompatible with almost every Mac application in existence. Apple’s solution was to create a new emulation framework built into the ARM-based version of macOS, which enabled existing apps to run on the…

BACKGROUND The ModRetro Chromatic is a new retro handheld games console that hits you hard in the nostalgias. It emulates the Nintendo Game Boy Color, a device that’s now well beyond its service life, plays all the classic cartridges and it’s built with longevity and repairability in mind. MAJOR TECH SPECS • 160 x 144 pixel 2.56-inch IPS backlit LCD• FPGA-based architecture• Backwards compatible link cable port• USB-C lagless video out• 3.5mm headphone output• Compatible with Game Boy and Game Boy Color game cartridges• Magnesium alloy thixomolded shell• 3x AA batteries or custom lithium ion pack KEY FINDINGS • The Chromatic’s electronics are seemingly antithetical to the three-decade-old hardware it emulates, and nowhere is this more evident than when comparing the modern IC BGA solder points to the bulky through-hole…

YOU’LL NEED THIS UBLOCK ORIGIN (optional) ACCORDING TO NETWORK SECURITY company SlashNext’s 2024 Phishing Intelligence Report, in the second half of 2024, there was a 202 percent overall rise in phishing messages. One of the most common attack vectors is email. Often, this takes the form of legitimate-looking messages. Recipients are encouraged to click a link or open an attachment. Sometimes, the aim is simply to steal personal information like credit card details. The best way to stay safe is never to believe anything you read in an email or open any links/files in your inbox. However, this isn’t very practical in 2025, as many legitimate organizations communicate with customers in this way. This guide focuses on how to analyze emails to find telltale signs of phishing activity. –NATE DRAKE…

YOU’LL NEED THIS WINDOWS 10 OR 11 DesktopOK YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD the phrase, ‘tidy desk, tidy mind’. This also applies to the digital realm. The trouble is, Windows’ desktop is too convenient a place to save files you’re going to need in the near future. Why bury them several folders deep? For one thing, because your desktop can get cluttered. Secondly, Microsoft has given us more efficient alternatives to using the desktop. Windows 10 and 11 have excellent built-in search tools, going beyond indexing files on the basis of name alone to pull up a list of results from within the contents of a file. Saving files to your desktop can also slow down your computer, as the desktop is essentially a folder itself. If you have an old PC,…

THERE’S AN ALTERNATIVE 2025 where you get the Nvidia RTX 5090 of your dreams. That’s a timeline where Nvidia has chosen TSMC’s most advanced process nodes, managed to negotiate an unprecedented deal on silicon production, and worked some magic to deliver the same sort of generational rendering performance increases we’ve become used to since the RTX prefix was born. That would be a 2025 where Nvidia hasn’t slapped a $400 price hike on the most powerful of its new RTX Blackwell graphics cards. But in this timeline, the RTX 5090 is an ultra-enthusiast graphics card that doesn’t quite deliver, thanks to the harsh realities of chip production and Nvidia’s unwillingness to really pull out the stops. For the RTX 5090, Nvidia has carried over essentially the same TSMC production tech…

HP’S NEWEST ULTRAPORTABLE convertible laptop appears at first glance like a Spectre lookalike, but its specs include one of Intel’s new Lunar Lake processors, putting it in a class of its own. The Omnibook Ultra Flip 14 is a mainstream laptop, so you can use it for school, work, or entertainment. The question is, can this new Lunar Lake contender compete with all-star mainstream laptops, like the Acer Swift X 14? The HP Omnibook Ultra Flip 14 costs $1,179 in this configuration, boasting an Intel Core Ultra 5 256V CPU, Intel Arc integrated graphics, 16GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, and a 14-inch 2880 x 1800 OLED touch display. Two colors are available: Eclipse Gray and Atmospheric Blue. Our review unit suits up in the latter, although in person…

Norton 360 Premium for $29.99 WE’VE NEGOTIATED a killer deal with Norton. No subscriptions; just a one-off bargain price of $29.99, compared to the regular $109 charge. That buys you 15 months of cover from the Norton Security suite across 10 devices Because it’s the Premium version, you get a host of extra tools.

To round things off, Norton Password Manager generates and stores passwords across all your devices,…

NVIDIA’S LAUNCH of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards took place on January 30. As many predicted, both sets of ‘Blackwell’ GPUs sold out quickly. Some buyers even camped outside retailer Micro Center. However, based on user reports, some stores had fewer than a dozen units. This was anticipated, as Nvidia representatives had warned the public that the number of these GPUs would be highly limited at launch. Unfortunately, this has led to unscrupulous buyers indulging in scalping. Some listings for the RTX 5090 are as high as $6,000—three times the $1,999 MSRP. We also noted that there are multiple eBay listings that appear to sell the RTX 5090 at the recommended retail price. Upon checking the product listing, we found that the seller was in fact offering…

LENGTH OF TIME: 1-2 HOURS LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: MEDIUM RIGHT THEN, that’s enough of that. Yes, we all know; big card, very expensive, hard to get. But that’s not just what these builds are about. They’re about the build itself; the process, and the vim and vigor required to create a system that really ticks all the boxes for you. They’re about taking you step by step through that process, and showing you that it’s not as hard as some of the pros make it out to be. As you’ve probably established by this point, the whole premise behind this system was really getting to grips with the RTX 5090 in a build environment. How does it fare? What’s it like to handle? What considerations do you need to make?…

ALL GOOD BUILDS START WITH good research. For us in particular, it’s pivotal that we create systems that not only represent good value, but are logical as well. They have to meet a certain budget, and often be aligned correctly with one another, avoiding bottlenecks, cooling disasters, power delivery issues, and other maladies (no point pairing a Core i3, with an RTX 5090, with a 450W PSU in a case with no airflow, after all). There are occasions where we deviate from that, of course, usually to try out a random piece of hardware, to answer a question or satisfy a curiosity, but that’s almost always at the forefront of our mind when building out a parts list. All that aside, regardless of whether you’re tech media or not, it’s research…

How do you pick between Intel and AMD when it comes to choosing your processor? The reality is there’s very little difference between the user experience on both platforms. If you hid all the programs, all the hardware info and details, and put two blind systems side-by-side, you’d struggle to notice the difference. Reliability, cost, general performance, connectivity all remain resolutely quite tight. Most of the differences come in the form of long-term compatibility, where AMD has the edge with its socket commitments, and unique workload scenarios, where some generations of processors perform better than others. If you want the best multi-threaded performance, then AMD’s X series chips are the way to go, although you’ll be giving up some single-core power if you do. If you want the best gaming…

TIP OF THE MONTH SPEED UP YOUTUBE VIDEOS YouTube is a fantastic platform to find some top-quality educational content, but if you’re short on time, it can be slow to digest video content. Speed things up and absorb that knowledge faster by adjusting playback speed. Click settings, then Playback speed, and adjust to 1.25x or 1.5x speed. Be warned, though: once you go faster, it’s hard to go back.

YOU’LL NEED THIS CHATGPT A ChatGPT Plus Pro, or Teams subscription. THE FREE VERSION OF CHATGPT can be an excellent way to help you keep tasks on track. You can create and save ongoing ‘chats’ related to your work, as well as analyze individual files. Still, if you have a serious undertaking such as a wedding, vacation, or hobby then the basic version of ChatGPT can struggle to manage multiple conversations and files. This is where ChatGPT ‘Projects’ is useful. At its core, it’s a way to centralize all conversations and files. You can even add custom instructions to explain the nature of your project and what you’re planning. Projects also has a dedicated section to upload unlimited numbers of files. In this tutorial, we’ll focus on how to max…

YOU’LL NEED THIS MAME www.mamedev.org/release.html WHILE MANY READERS may have fond memories of plowing loose change into arcade machines as children, games are usually enjoyed from our living rooms these days. However, many arcade titles didn’t make it to home consoles. Those that did sometimes lost some of their charm. For instance, the SNES conversion of Street Fighter II had radically altered backgrounds, and even censored more violent aspects of gameplay. MAME (formerly an acronym of ‘Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator') is designed to address this. Since 1997, this open-source software has been designed to recreate the hardware of retro arcade machines, videogame consoles, and older PCs. The project website makes MAME available free of charge, along with some ‘ROMS’ for personal use. In this guide, you’ll discover how to set up…

THIS MONTH, I was doing a bit of research on a phenomenon that’s been afflicting the tech industry. Namely, how the cost of PC parts has skyrocketed over the last decade. Go back to September 2015 (my first issue), and the Blueprints reveal dramatically different rigs. Yes, there have been hardware advancements—we’re not stuck with 16GB of DDR4 on a Turbo build—but if you look at the products, you’re getting more for the money, or so it seems. I did the math, and on the graphics card front, what we all imagine to be the biggest culprit of price hikes, it’s honestly not that bad. Take the GTX 660, for instance. It launched at $230 in 2013. With inflation today, that’s about $310. The RTX 4060 launched with an RRP…

LENOVO ISN’T MESSING AROUND with its Legion gaming PCs. They are resolutely, uncompromisingly, just PCs. Sure, there’s the faintest nod to ‘gamer’ styling with the RGB-illuminated front panel and see-through side, but the Legion Tower 5i is, without wanting to sound at all mean, pretty basic. I think it’s grand. I’m all for that when it comes to affordable gaming PCs; I don’t want to see money wasted on needless luxuries when I’m chasing down a good budget rig. The CPU cooler is a no-name brand, there are no VRM heatsinks or SSD-cooling plates on the barebones motherboard, and the memory sticks are bare PCBs. The OEM Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card is similarly simple, but beautifully so. I’m into miniature cards where they make sense, and the low-end Ada…

WE’VE WRITTEN extensively over these last few months about the slow creep of PC component pricing that’s occurred over the last decade or so. It’s been painful to watch, but if you take a look at the raw stats—certainly for CPUs and GPUs—it kind of lines up with inflation quite nicely (if not a little better, actually). In fact, most areas do, with one exception: motherboards. This is the B850-F Gaming WiFi from Asus. It’s a board built around AMD’s new B850 chipset. In short, we’ve now got three distinct chipsets available for the 9th gen (and its AM5 socket predecessors). X870E is the crème de la crème, top dog. To hit that criteria and label, it needs a minimum of 44 PCIe lanes (24 of which are 5.0), two…

THIS MIGHT BE the most specific RPG we've ever played. Everything from its location to its era, combat, and clothing feels hyper-tuned and dialled in with precision to suit oddball tastes. If you're looking for a typically sweeping fantasy romp, you simply won't find one. Like its predecessor, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a game whose story springs inevitably from the politics of its time and place, namely Bohemia in 1403. Want to mow down your foes by the dozen? Good luck. Combat is a strange dance of positioning both your hands and feet relative to those of your enemies, and charging into the fray even in the late game is liable to get you cut apart. Want to equip a hauberk without first equipping a padded gambeson beneath it? What…

> VPN server issue > Wot, no Bitdefender? > Windows off-screen WireGuard connection problem I diligently followed your tutorial in the June 2024 issue to create myself a WireGuard VPN server using wg-easy. It worked fine for months, but recently, I’ve noticed that I can no longer connect to the IP address of the server running WireGuard. I can still connect to other devices on the network, and use the VPN to browse safely over untrusted public Wi-Fi networks, but the server itself is off limits, which locks me out of various services I’ve kept offline. Why is this happening, and—more importantly—how do I fix it? —Michelle D Burns THE DOCTOR RESPONDS: This is almost certainly linked to Podman’s recent networking changes, as outlined in my November 2024 column, exacerbated…

IF YOU’VE READ this far and you’re looking at the annotations, you’ll have realized that we made some pretty significant changes after the build was complete, namely swapping around the SSDs and adding a point of support for the GPU itself. They’re small changes, but they add up to a big result. The H7 Flow is a fantastically well built case. Too well built, in fact, but annoyingly, that angled PSU cover design does mean that a lot of those vertical GPU mounting solutions out there, even in NZXT’s own arsenal, just aren’t compatible with it. That’s a problem, particularly as it’s quite the trend at the moment. Plus, the internals on this thing are seriously impressive, and having a vertical GPU doesn’t in any way stifle the GPU’s intake…

WHAT A START it’s been to 2025! No sooner had we gotten over our New Year hangovers, we found ourselves headed to Las Vegas to attend this year’s Consumer Electronics Show—the biggest event of the year for new PC products. We touched on some of these last issue—most notably Nvidia’s 50-series Blackwell cards, which finally arrived well over two years since the launch of the last generation. We’ve barely been back a couple of weeks, and already we’ve seen the flagship card, the RTX 5090, go through our labs (see our verdict on page 74), be released, and then sell out. As we said, it’s been a whirlwind! Thankfully, it wasn’t just new GPUs. The promise of AI over the last couple of years has now turned into tangible benefits.…

BEFORE WE GET ON to the actual process of picking parts, we need to decide how to allocate that money. We’ve got a few sample studies below that should hopefully help answer some of those questions. GAMING In short, if you’re building a rig in 2025, and are solely interested in gaming, you need to start with a discussion on what your target resolution is going to be, what games you’re interested in playing, and what frame rate you want to hit. You then need to be reasonable with your expectations. A budget of $1,000 isn’t going to net you 4K 120fps in Cyberpunk without some serious DLSS backup, and even then, that’s going to be a push. Bottlenecks are the primary concern we’re trying to bear in mind here.…

Choosing the right PSU for your build is quite a simple decision these days. We highly recommend using a calculator to find the right wattage for your build. But do bear in mind that most overestimate on purpose for your safety and protection. They also typically operate under the notion that all components will be drawing the maximum amount of energy from the wall at 100 percent load. In the real world, that’s just not a feasible scenario, as one component will almost always bottleneck another, even if it’s just by five to ten percent. Take our feature build this month, complete with Core Ultra 9 285K and RTX 5090. According to PC Part Picker, they rate the estimated wattage at exactly 999W, yet during our entire benchmark run, it…

MICROSOFT’S ‘COPILOT+ PCS’ are supposed to usher in a new era of AI-assisted computing, but they’re historic in another way, too. With surprisingly little fanfare, Microsoft has for the first time endorsed a range of third-party laptops based on a mixture of AMD, Intel, and ARM processors. This isn’t the first time it has offered a version of Windows that runs on ARM architecture, but it might be the first time the idea succeeds—as the OS now has an emulation layer. Conceptually, this is much the same as the software tools that let you tinker with a virtual BBC Micro inside a web page, or revisit Amiga games on your phone. In this case, it’s designed not for historical purposes, but to allow the latest Intel-native apps to run on the…

YOU’LL NEED THIS WINDOWS 11 Notepad (included with Windows) THE GNU WEBSITE, which is supported by the Free Software Foundation, contains a page entitled ‘Microsoft’s Software is Malware’. While this is an exaggeration, Windows 11 does raise some privacy concerns. For instance, the OS can display intrusive ads. It pressures users to run Microsoft apps like Edge, even when there are better alternatives. Windows also monitors user activity to suggest search results, and sends a great deal of ‘diagnostic data’ home to Microsoft. While Windows 11 does have dedicated privacy settings, these are usually on an ‘opt-out’ basis. In this guide, we’ll explore how to use Windows without an online Microsoft account. You’ll also discover how to disable the most intrusive settings, as well as how to stop the OS…

YOU’LL NEED THIS AN ANDROID CELLPHONE Windows Phone Link for Windows (free) BEING ABLE TO LINK your phone to your PC is nothing new, but there have been some improvements in recent Windows 11 releases that mean it’s worth taking another look at. Not only can you view your photos, call logs and text messages, and deal with notifications; you can control music playback and move your phone in and out of silent mode. It is possible to interact with some of your Android apps, too, but only if you’re using specific Samsung models. Much of this functionality is still Android-only. This is a shame, as the capabilities of an Apple Mac to communicate with an iPhone, and use it as a remote camera via its Continuity Camera feature, is an…

THE GIGABYTE X870E Aorus Pro is not exactly cheap. But then, the X870E chipset is AMD’s finest; the flagship choice. You get Wi-Fi 7, full PCIe 5.0 support across both graphics and some of the M.2 storage ports, USB 4 Type-C ports, plus features designed to make the building process as hassle-free as possible, as well as helping with hot-running PCIe 5.0 SSDs, and all for less than many premium motherboards. It’s the latter features that ultimately make the difference here given the older X670E chipset offers compatibility with the latest AMD CPUs and the same capabilities in terms of ports and bandwidth. At this price, you’re also paying for premium looks and Gigabyte has delivered with a chunky set of dark, moody heatsinks for the M.2 ports and VRMs,…

BEHOLD the first gaming handheld PC we’ve used that sports AMD’s latest APU, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370—the chip formerly known as Strix Point. It’s a game-changer for handhelds. It brings Radeon Anti-Lag and Fluid Motion Frames 2, the latter being AMD’s frame-generation technology. Those APU-enabled features are what set the OneXFly F1 Pro apart. Mind you, that $1,339 price tag sets it apart, too. That money would get you a full RTX 4070 Super gaming PC, and leave enough change for a decent 1080p gaming monitor. So yeah, you’ve got to really want that ultra-compact form factor. However, what you are getting is a stellar gaming device with performance to match its aesthetics. The slightly rubberized texture and smooth curves of the chassis feel great. While it’s relatively…

IT’S NOT OFTEN that we get to take a look at a case like this one. Asus has designed its ProArt line with a very specific goal in mind. Traditionally, its monitors in particular were built around the needs and wants of designers and creative professionals, hence the name. They were highly calibrated products, with no frills or fuss, and they did an impeccable job of delivering absolute quality and consistency above all else. With monitors, that makes sense; these are products that deliver color to your eyes, and having an accurate representation of what your client is going to see in print or online is pivotal. It might seem like quite the contrary idea, then, to apply that same mantra and logic to case design. After all, a chassis exists,…

THIS IS A bit of a weird one for us. We’re actually going to do a two-parter ‘Software Versus’. Yep, you heard right. Initially, it was going to be a three-way battle between Nvidia, AMD, and Intel as to who had the greater graphics card program in the modern era, but because we didn’t want to give the Art team an aneurysm redesigning the layout for one issue, we figured it would be better to run one part of this issue, then pit the winner against the other in the next. What’s all the fuss, then? Basically, Nvidia recently decommissioned GeForce Experience and launched a new entirely rebuilt replacement of the thing in the form of the imaginatively named ‘NVIDIA App’ (because every brand needs a healthy dose of capitalization for…

Sponsored by IT’S OUR FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR: when Nvidia launches a new series of graphics cards that immediately go out of stock due to low supply, and then every scalper and their mom buys up every possible graphics card available, reselling them at ridiculous prices. They’re the worst kind of people. Sorry, they’re not enthusiasts. Not even slightly. Trying to profit off people’s desperation and misfortune is just grim, particularly when all they want to do is enjoy a hobby; an escape from the woes of the 21st century in whatever form that takes. Anyway, with that ethical and moral rant out of the way, let’s talk budget builds. Changes across both remain relatively stable; we’ve had a few changes here and there on pricing, but nothing major. Hilariously,…
