Fresh Picks from the CCL Crew: Top Components of the Week

The Samsung 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD is an absolute beast when it comes to storage speed. As a PCIe 4.0 drive, it reaches sequential read speeds up to 7,450 MB/s and write speeds around 6,900 MB/s, essentially maxing out the Gen4 bandwidth.

In fact, it’s so fast that Tom’s Hardware currently ranks the 990 PRO as the best SSD overall and the best SSD for gaming in its class. With up to 1.55 million IOPS in random reads, this drive drastically cuts down game level load times and data transfers — meaning you spend less time staring at loading screens and more time playing!

We’ve noticed snappier Windows responsiveness too – everything from boot-ups to launching heavy applications feels instant with the 990 PRO.

Build Quality and Design

Samsung’s pedigree in SSDs really shows here. The 990 PRO uses the latest Samsung V-NAND and an in-house controller tuned for both speed and efficiency. It's rated for 50% better performance per Watt compared to its predecessor, the 980 PRO, making it unusually efficient for a high-end drive.

Even during intense workloads, the 990 PRO delivers top performance without guzzling extra power or overheating. Samsung’s firmware and Thermal Guard technology manage heat effectively during typical use, so throttling is rarely a concern.

Note: There’s no heatsink included out of the box. If your motherboard offers an M.2 heatsink, definitely use it to help maintain optimal temperatures, especially during heavy sustained writes.

Real-World Gaming Experience

In gaming, the difference this SSD makes is massive. Large open-world games that used to take half a minute to load now do so in mere seconds. Texture streaming and asset loading happen almost instantly, which results in smoother gameplay and less stutter — perfect for demanding titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator or expansive RPGs.

For streamers and content creators, the 990 PRO’s speed also means recording gameplay and editing videos becomes faster and more responsive. We even tested launching multiple games and applications simultaneously, and the 990 PRO handled it effortlessly — a true multitasking champion!

Random read/write performance is 40–55% higher than the previous generation, making a real difference in daily use.

How It Stacks Up

Compared to other high-end SSDs, the Samsung 990 PRO consistently comes out on top or very close in performance benchmarks.

Competitors like the WD Black SN850X and SK Hynix Platinum drives are incredibly fast, but the 990 PRO often edges them out by small but meaningful margins.

In real-world usage, it's regarded as one of the fastest PCIe 4.0 SSDs ever tested — perfect if you're after the absolute best experience.

Another major plus is Samsung’s reputation for reliability. The 990 PRO is rated for high endurance, and Samsung’s Magician software makes firmware updates and health monitoring easy.

Samsung also acted quickly on past firmware concerns; the latest updates have the drive running "stable as hell" and performing better than ever.

Minor Cons

The only downside?

• No bundled heatsink — though most gaming motherboards these days include M.2 heatsinks.
• Heavy continuous writes (e.g., moving terabytes of data) might lead to some warming, but for gaming and everyday use, this is rarely an issue.

Final Thoughts

Given its stellar speed, efficiency, and reliability, it’s no surprise we at CCL are recommending the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB this week. It's the perfect choice for enthusiasts and hardcore gamers who want the fastest storage driving their gaming rigs!

2. Intel Core i5 14400 10 Core/16 Thread LGA1700 CPU

The Intel Core i5-14400 (14th Gen) is a fantastic mid-range CPU that we’re excited to feature this week – perfect for gamers on a budget, or anyone wanting high performance without a huge price tag.

This 14th Gen chip packs 10 cores and 16 threads (with 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores under Intel’s hybrid architecture), hitting up to 4.7 GHz turbo boost speeds. In simple terms: it’s a multi-core powerhouse for its class, handling modern games, streaming, and everyday multitasking with ease.

Intel’s improvements in this generation mean slightly higher clocks and a few key refinements over the previous gen, making the i5-14400 feel snappier than ever. Don’t underestimate it – reviews are calling it a “compelling CPU for gamers on a modest budget”.

Real-World Gaming and Performance

In our testing, pairing the i5-14400 with a graphics card like an RTX 4060 or 4070 gave fantastic frame rates in all popular games. It easily pushes 100+ FPS in esports titles and keeps smooth minimum framerates in AAA games – all thanks to those extra threads.

What we love most? Versatility.

• It’s compatible with a wide range of LGA1700 motherboards – whether B660, B760, or B760M boards.
• It supports both DDR5 and DDR4 memory.

This gives you the choice to either future-proof with DDR5, or save money by using DDR4 3200 RAM. Building a system with DDR4 makes the i5-14400 one of the most cost-effective paths to a powerful gaming rig right now!

Plus, it comes with a cooler in the box.
While basic, the stock cooler actually keeps the i5-14400 at safe temperatures under gaming loads. In our experience, the CPU stayed cool and the system remained nice and quiet. Of course, if you’re building in a small case or want even lower temps, a budget tower cooler is a great upgrade – but it’s great that you don’t have to buy one right away.

Smooth Multitasking & Streaming

Thanks to Intel’s design, the 6 performance cores handle your main tasks or games with high single-thread speed, while the 4 efficiency cores juggle background jobs like OBS, Discord, or Chrome.

This makes the i5-14400 a brilliant choice for streamers and multitaskers, allowing smooth gameplay and flawless background operation at the same time.

It’s also surprisingly capable for content creators. Light 3D rendering, video editing, or compiling projects all run noticeably faster compared to older 6-core/12-thread CPUs.

Intel vs AMD in This Range

Compared to the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, the i5-14400 is sometimes a little behind (~10-15%) in pure gaming FPS benchmarks.
However, the i5-14400 fights back hard with:

• Lower platform costs (no need for pricey new DDR5 boards if you don’t want to)
• Lower power consumption
• Cooler and quieter operation even with the stock cooler

This means you can spend your budget upgrading your GPU or SSD instead, often giving you bigger real-world performance gains!

And if you're upgrading an older Intel system? Thanks to LGA1700 compatibility and DDR4 support, you might even reuse parts from your current setup and simply swap in this powerful new brain.

Extra Features We Love

Intel UHD 730 integrated graphics: not for gaming, but perfect for troubleshooting or running a display if you’re still waiting on your GPU.

Excellent responsiveness: Windows and apps feel instantly snappy thanks to strong single-threaded performance.

Plug-and-play setup: no complicated tweaking needed; install and go!

Minor Cons

There are a few small things to keep in mind:

No overclocking: This is a “locked” CPU, so you won’t be manually boosting beyond its stock turbo speeds. (But frankly, Intel’s automatic boost to 4.7 GHz means most users won’t miss manual tweaking.)

Small generational jump: The i5-14400 isn’t dramatically different from the 13400, but it offers much better value at launch.

Overall, for a mid-range build or a family gaming PC, these aren't real issues – and the i5-14400’s strengths far outweigh them.

Final Thoughts

The Intel Core i5-14400 hits the perfect sweet spot for gamers and PC builders who want excellent performance, flexibility, and value.

It’s cooler, more efficient, and cheaper to build around compared to AMD’s equivalent options – and with its 10 cores and 16 threads, it’s ready to power gaming, streaming, multitasking, and content creation with ease.

That’s exactly why it’s one of our top CCL Staff Picks this week – we think it’s one of the smartest CPU choices you can make right now!

4. ASRock B650I Lightning WiFi ITX Motherboard for AMD AM5 CPUs

If you’re looking to build a mighty mini PC, the ASRock B650I Phantom Gaming Lightning WiFi is a dream motherboard.

This Mini-ITX board (just 17×17 cm!) is bursting with high-end features and performance for AMD’s latest AM5 platform.
Don’t let the small size fool you – it supports Ryzen 7000 and even future Ryzen 8000 series processors with up to 16 cores without breaking a sweat.

The board uses a robust 8+2+1 phase Dr.MOS VRM design, offering enough juice and cooling to comfortably run a Ryzen 9 7950X at stock settings.
That means you can build a super-powerful small-form-factor system without worrying about power delivery or stability — absolutely amazing for ITX!

ASRock even includes a 75°C thermal cap in the firmware by default to prevent VRM overheating under sustained load — but enthusiasts can lift that if they want even more headroom.

Top-End Features in a Compact Size

The B650I Lightning WiFi is packed with the latest tech:

• DDR5 support: 2 slots supporting up to DDR5-7200 OC speeds.
• PCIe 5.0 M.2 support: Ultra-fast storage for the next-gen NVMe SSDs.

The rear I/O includes 8 USB ports (USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A and Type-C included) — a brilliant number for such a small board.

Audio is delivered via a 7.1 channel HD codec enhanced with Nahimic software – great for surround setups, even if it’s not the absolute highest-end codec available.

Build Experience

Building with this board is an absolute joy — especially for anyone who’s used to ITX challenges!

• Three fan headers: Enough for a case fan, CPU cooler, and maybe even a pump.
• Smart connector layout: Front panel, power, and USB connectors are all placed along the edges for easy cable management.
• Heatsinks: Good VRM and M.2 heatsinks help manage the extra heat that can build up in compact cases.

In real-world use, gaming performance matched larger X670E ATX boards when using the same CPU and RAM — no real-world FPS disadvantage at all.

We paired it with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 4070 in a 20-litre case, and it delivered top-tier gaming performance while staying compact. Truly the best of both worlds!

Who This Board Is For

This board is perfect for small form factor (SFF) enthusiasts — anyone building:

• A compact LAN party PC
• A space-saving gaming system
• A living room gaming machine

Thanks to pricing generally under £200, it’s a brilliant value considering the features you’re getting.

ASRock didn’t cut corners either — there are even 2 ARGB headers for lighting control using Polychrome Sync if you want to jazz up your tiny rig!

Because AMD has committed to the AM5 socket for future CPUs, this board can be a long-term foundation — "a board for today and tomorrow" as one reviewer put it.

Minor Cons

Every product has a couple of small quirks, and here they are:

• Coil whine: Some users reported slight coil whine under heavy loads. We heard a faint high-pitched noise during stress testing on an open bench, but inside a closed case it was barely audible.
• Boot times: AM5 platforms can take longer to POST, and this board is no exception. In our tests, booting took around 20 seconds to Windows. Not a huge issue, but worth noting if you love lightning-fast startups.

Both are minor trade-offs for everything this ITX powerhouse delivers!

Final Thoughts

The ASRock B650I Lightning WiFi absolutely impressed us at CCL.
It brings high-end AM5 performance to the ITX arena without sacrificing stability, speed, or feature set — and it does so at a very fair price.

With support for DDR5, PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 6E, strong VRMs, and loads of connectivity, it’s ready to power today’s top-tier gaming PCs and tomorrow’s CPU upgrades.

If you want a small form factor PC without compromising performance, this is the motherboard we’re confidently recommending — and one of our top Staff Picks this week!

5. iiyama G-Master GCB3481WQSU 34" UltraWide Curved Gaming Monitor – VA, 500 nits

If you’re looking for an immersive visual experience, our pick of the week is the incredible iiyama G-Master GCB3481WQSU 34" UltraWide Curved Gaming Monitor.

This monitor delivers cinematic gaming on a 34-inch curved UltraWide display with a 21:9 aspect ratio — giving you about 30% more horizontal space compared to standard 16:9 screens.
The result? A panoramic, wraparound field of view that completely transforms both gaming and productivity.

The 1500R curvature draws you deeper into the action, making worlds in games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Forza Horizon feel absolutely breathtaking — almost like having a mini-IMAX screen on your desk.

Stunning Visuals and Smooth Performance

The panel runs at an impressive UWQHD 3440×1440 resolution, providing sharp, crisp detail across the wide canvas.
Better still, you don't need an absurdly high-end GPU to drive it — mid- to high-tier graphics cards handle this resolution very nicely.

But the real standout here for gamers?

• Up to 180Hz refresh rate (via DisplayPort) for buttery-smooth motion.
• 0.3ms MPRT response time for minimal blur and razor-sharp action scenes.

In fast-paced games like Apex Legends and Valorant, motion remains fluid and clear, with virtually no ghosting — making it ideal for both competitive gaming and cinematic adventures.

Thanks to Adaptive Sync (FreeSync Premium certified), the monitor syncs perfectly with your GPU to eliminate screen tearing. It even worked seamlessly with NVIDIA G-Sync compatible mode in our testing!

Brilliant Colour and Contrast

The iiyama uses an advanced VA panel delivering:

• 4000:1 static contrast for deep, inky blacks.
• 500 nits peak brightness, making it great even in bright rooms.

The high contrast really shines in darker game scenes, and the monitor even supports HDR content — roughly DisplayHDR 400 level — boosting vibrancy in HDR-enabled games and media.

Reviewers (and we agree) praised it as “large and bright” with “brilliant colours”, rivalling some IPS panels for vividness.

Practical Features We Love

The GCB3481WQSU doesn’t just excel in performance — it’s packed with thoughtful extras:

• Height-adjustable, tilt and swivel stand for ergonomic setup.
• VESA mount support if you prefer a monitor arm.
• Built-in USB 3.0 hub with four ports — perfect for connecting peripherals like keyboards, mice, or headsets without crawling behind your PC.

Connectivity is generous too:

• 2× DisplayPort 1.4 (for full 180Hz performance).
• 2× HDMI 2.0 (up to 100Hz at this resolution).

While it lacks a USB-C port (which some newer monitors have), that’s hardly a dealbreaker given its gaming focus.

It also offers picture-by-picture mode, handy for multitasking or dual PC setups — though it lacks full PiP (picture-in-picture), which is a minor omission.

Real-World Gaming Experience

In one word: Immersion.

The ultrawide format gives you a wider field of view in first-person games — sometimes letting you spot enemies earlier than players using regular 16:9 screens.
In racing and sim games, it dramatically enhances the sense of speed and peripheral vision.

• Competitive esports titles easily hit high frame rates.
• More graphically intensive games like Cyberpunk or Flight Simulator still looked smooth and stunning around 100–120 FPS.

Hitting around 100+ FPS is ideal to get the best experience from this monitor — but even if you don’t hit the full 180 FPS, you’ll still love the smoothness and visual breadth.

Outside of gaming, it’s fantastic for productivity too:

• Easily fit two or three documents or apps side-by-side.
• Great for video editing and content creation workflows.
• Movies and YouTube videos look epic on the 21:9 screen — many films are shot in ultrawide formats already!

Minor Drawbacks

There are a few small things to note:

• VA panel viewing angles aren’t quite as wide as IPS, meaning colours may slightly shift when viewed from sharp angles — but the curve helps minimise this for seated use.
• No USB-C input — though not a major issue for gamers.
• Slightly curved edges when wall-mounted — inherent to all curved monitors.
• In very dark transitions, minimal smearing is possible if you look closely, typical for VA panels, but the overdrive and MPRT tuning greatly minimise this.

In short: any downsides are minor and won't bother most users.

Final Thoughts

The iiyama G-Master GCB3481WQSU Red Eagle is a feature-packed ultrawide gaming monitor that hits the sweet spot for gamers who want cinematic visuals, buttery smooth gameplay, and top-tier features without breaking the bank.

It’s rare to find a 34" ultrawide with 180Hz refresh rate at such an accessible price — iiyama absolutely delivered here.

Whether you're racing across open worlds, battling it out in competitive shooters, or simply multitasking like a boss, this monitor offers a smooth, expansive canvas that seriously levels up your PC experience.

That’s why it easily earns a spot in our CCL Staff Picks this week — it’s one of those upgrades that, once you’ve tried it, you’ll wonder how you ever gamed without it!

6. Thermalright TL-P12 120mm PWM Chassis Fan in Black

Okay, maybe case fans aren’t the flashiest part of a build, but trust us — the right fan can make a huge difference to your PC’s cooling and noise levels.
That’s why we’re highlighting the fantastic Thermalright TL-P12 120mm PWM fan in black!

We’re genuinely excited about this fan because it delivers premium cooling performance at a budget price — the kind of unbeatable value we love to find and recommend.

Performance That Punches Above Its Price

The TL-P12 is a standard 120×120×25mm fan that spins up to 1500 RPM (±10%).
At full speed, it delivers:

• 52.9 CFM airflow
• 1.53 mm H2O static pressure

Those numbers put it on par with fans costing much more — meaning it can move a lot of air and generate enough pressure to work perfectly on radiators or behind dust filters.

Despite its strong airflow, it’s impressively quiet, with a noise level of just 22.1 dBA at maximum speed.
In real-world use, even at full tilt, it’s just a gentle whoosh — no annoying buzzing or whining sounds.

Smart Engineering for Quiet Longevity

One reason the TL-P12 is so quiet and reliable is its S-FDB bearing (Sun/Sony Fluid Dynamic Bearing):

• Smoother operation
• Less friction and noise
• Longer lifespan than cheaper sleeve or ball bearings

This kind of bearing tech is typically found in premium fans like Noctua’s — it’s impressive to see it here at such an accessible price.

The nine-blade impeller design is carefully engineered for a balance of airflow and pressure, making the TL-P12 a true all-rounder — perfect for use as a case fan or on a CPU cooler radiator.

Clean Aesthetics and Thoughtful Design

The fan’s all-black, minimalistic look fits seamlessly into any PC build.
Other touches we love:

• Anti-vibration rubber pads on the corners to reduce any chassis noise.
• PWM control via 4-pin connector, allowing your motherboard to adjust fan speeds automatically based on temperatures.

And while it’s an “OEM-style” fan (basic packaging, no flashy extras), that just means savings passed straight onto you!

Real-World Experience

When we tested the TL-P12, we swapped out a couple of basic stock case fans — and the difference was immediate:

• Lower GPU and CPU temps under load.
• Quieter operation even during heavy gaming sessions.

The improvement was exactly what we hoped for — better cooling and less noise, without spending loads.

This matches the wider community feedback too — plenty of builders online have discovered the Thermalright fan "hidden gem".
On Reddit, users even compared Thermalright’s fans to Noctua’s, noting they perform similarly for half the price!

In our own tests, the TL-P12 kept up with a Noctua NF-F12 in airflow at comparable RPMs, but with less noise — which is seriously impressive.

Who Should Consider the TL-P12?

Honestly, almost everyone.

• Building a new PC? Perfect for case airflow.
• Upgrading an older prebuilt? A fantastic way to reduce temps and noise.
• Water-cooling on a budget? They work brilliantly on 240mm or 360mm radiators.
• Want a stealthy, clean build? The black look fits any theme.

Because they're so affordable, you can easily populate all your case fan slots for a positive airflow setup — helping reduce dust buildup too!

And thanks to PWM control, they spin down to near-silent speeds at idle, making your desktop experience whisper-quiet.

Minor Things to Know

There are a couple of very minor points:

• No RGB lighting — but that suits many builds aiming for a clean look. (If you do want RGB, the TL-P12S variant offers it.)
• No fancy packaging or extras — but you get excellent cooling and low noise where it matters.
• At full 1500 RPM, extremely noise-sensitive users might hear a faint whoosh — but it’s very gentle compared to most fans, and you can easily cap it to ~1200 RPM via BIOS if absolute silence is your goal.

For the price, there’s really nothing to complain about — it’s astounding how much value you’re getting.

Final Thoughts

The Thermalright TL-P12 120mm PWM fan is the perfect example of a small upgrade making a big impact.
It offers:

• Fantastic airflow
• Low noise levels
• Reliable long-life operation
• An incredible price-to-performance ratio

If you’re building a new system, tuning an existing rig, or just looking for an affordable way to lower your temps and noise, this fan is a must-have.

That’s why the TL-P12 is proudly in our CCL Staff Picks this week — it’s proof that top-tier cooling doesn’t have to cost top-tier money.
