I am thinking about getting a MSI N660 Gaming 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 660 2GB that has the twin force iv cooling. It will be running in Linux(Gentoo). My PC will is on 24/7. When not using it, I would like it to be in 980 (Boost Clock: 1033) (Silent mode). Will it go into that mode automatically? Or would I need the utility to put it into that mode manually?
