PSU no on/off button behind ?

[Panos Beltis]

Hi, today, I upgraded and changed the PSU of my rig, due to the reason of the "windy" noise, and the new one that's been installed on my case has no button behind it, on/off button I mean.

Now, I know this may sound stupid to a lot of people, but, I don't know if that is a good/normal/common thing. I mean, I was used so much with the previous PSU, if there was a problem with the electricity blackout or something, I was quick enough - always - to flip the switch off. But now with that new model, there's no switch at all.

Though, the person that made my pc and upgraded my rig, ensured me that this PSU is slightly better than my previous one, and I should be ok.

The question : Does it really matter if the PSU has a button behind it? Also, about the model's name, it's the same brand as the previous one, it is the same volt 230, and I believe it's also on 530W, can't see the brand though and I can't open the case atm.

It is common on some OEMs as listed above. I have never had issues with this as such.

You can just shut off your power bar in a blackout and kill all connected devices.

off topic badboyrog2, great avatar.

Yes, like this, it's the only switch button behind a PSU hardware, so yeah...I just don't know if that's "lethal" for the machine and the whole lot of parts. If it's not that much of a difference, then I guess I am golden and I wasted your time for no good reason, which makes me feel ashamed....

Eh, I don't know, just wanted to learn about it, If it's dangerous or not. I've met a lot of people who had problem and being rude for similar - important and whatnot - questions, so I am always try to be defensive and apologize in advance.
