Switching off PSU

[forgotmypassword]

Hello fellas, every time I'm done using my PC, I obviusly turn it off with the Windows command, then after everything's down, I swtich off the PSU in the back.. is that okay? Should be any problem if I do that every time?

No problem but it is not required as everything turns off after shutting down windows.

It's never a problem. I do that too.
It should never cause any problems unless done before shutting down the Windows!

Except for that stupid green LED on the motherboard looking right to my eye -.-

You must mean from your dedicated NIC. lol..I see it too at night but it doesnt bother me, as I have a modem and router blinking constantly. Just close your eyes and you won't see it.

You'll have to check the motherboard battery from time to time,because the settings in the bios will only be kept by that when you do this and will it be empty sooner.

Not the NIC, the one that indicates there's power from the PSU shining through my case's window lol

I haven't had any problems with the BIOS or the settings

Just saying,it has nothing to do with being cheap or not.
Looking at the first quote did you ask or not?

Yes, what I'm asking if it's okay to switch off the PSU everytime, or should if I should leave it on

Yes I know, but that doesn't seem to be a big issue to me, if that were to happen I would only have to replace the battery
