Can the nt06-pro be used passively?
I would think so. You just dont use the fan. But then you would just have the NT06 that SS also sells.
Someone was able fit a powercolor 7950 pcs without any mods. I believe MSI gtx 670 twin frozr 4 about the same size 7950. What do you guys think ??
I think I answered your question already. The GPU you linked is 267mm long, the inside of the SG05 is 262mm.
How important is using a blower video card in these if not overcoming?

You don't really need a closed-shroud GPU in the SG05, regardless whether you overclock or not. The open mesh on the side of the case ensures that video cards of all configurations can get enough fresh air.
The Asetek 740GF is the same as the Antec Kuhler 620. The 760GC was developed with PNY for their top end XLR8 GTX580. I've only ever seen the 760GC used with GTX570 and GTX580 cards. Are the mounting holes in the 600 series the same? I don't know. But yeah, if it fits, then should work well in SG05.
Yes, I've seen that a lot in the builds here. It is unfortunate that I won't be able to fit an ODD in there; I burn mp3 CDs to play in my car and not having the convenience of the drive there will be a bit of an annoyance at first, but I'm sure I'll get used to an external drive eventually. Drives will be mounted under the radiator and mounted onto the frame, much like other people have done here.Usual disclaimers about radiators apply however. You understand that you'll be giving up the standard drive cages?
You can get the optical drive tray in by turning the radiator so that the hoses are along the right side, but then you are maybe limited by the underside of the radiator (now on the left) pressing against the GPU.
Now if Silverstone could only make a case just like this, but just have it a bit taller or wider to fit a 120mm radiator with the slim drive bay along with a 2 * 2.5" drive bay instead of that 3.5" + 2.5" clunker and the same room for the GPU, I'd be a happy chappy.
Au contraire mon frere. I added a 620 to my son's 560ti and kept the ODD along with 2.5 and 3.5 drives. The rad also has 2 fans so the thicker rad should fit with one no problem.

Yesterday I installed an evga gtx 660ti sc and my i5 3570k stock fan idle temps(doing nothing) started to hover around 47-49c. Is this normal? They were around 37-42c before the GPU install. Any ideas?
it is sg05 with 450w psu. Evga gtx660tisc, i5 3570k on Asrock Z77e-itx. Samsung ssd 830 256gb and 4gb ram.Everything is stock. Is it normal to have cpu tems around 50c in idle?
