Review: Palit GeForce GTX 750 Ti KalmX

We review the Palit GeForce GTX 750 Ti KalmX. Palit's offering is the most silent of them all, as it uses passive cooling. That's right, just a big heatsink is being used. The KalmX runs reference clock frequencies and is based on a customized PCB with that new model cooler that will keep the product nicely inaudible.

I know it is to eliminate CPU bottlenecks, but use a 130W CPU to test this card make no sense. Why not use something like i5-3570. It is more balanced and real config.

Sorry but it is your comment that makes no sense. The sense of using a high end CPU is exactly as you put it yourself, to eliminate a potential CPU bottleneck.
Even if they did use a high end i5 processor as you suggest it probably wouldn't make a difference but it would leave it open to questions regarding the CPU's performance. Either way, why would they use an Ivy Bridge CPU instead of Haswell?

1) Graphics cards are all tested with the same components so we can COMPARE performance objectively.
2) Why would you want to limit a graphics card ?
3) That CPU would not make a real difference. The GPU is the bottleneck, not the CPU.

The easiest thing is to put a single, quiet 120mm fan on it and see temperatures drop by half. Nearly no cost, if you pick the right fan quiet, and hardly power consuming, an even pwm by mainboard/software linked to it's temperature if you do it right.
