Hello, everyone!
The title pretty much says it all...I built a gaming PC and, unfortunately (because of my job), I can only open it on week-ends (friday night, saturday and sunday). Which means, the majority of time it just stays closed (sometimes I open it for at most 1 hour for some web surfing), but with the PSU button ON.
Should I turn it OFF or just leave it ON all the time?
Does leaving it ON affect my PSU (in case of a power draw, for example)?
The PSU is a Corsair TX750M (the 80+ Gold rated one).

There is no need to turn off the PSU at the rocker switch if that's what you're referring to, but if you feel you ought to then do so. It won't harm anything if you leave it switched on --- makes no difference either way except for a very small use of electricity if you leave it on.


Depends on the person - - for example, my father-in-law would never go on holiday without first unplugging every electrical device in his house --- something I have never done -- but he said he wouldn't be able to sleep nights if he didn't do it. Like I said, depends on the person - - how much you worry about such things.

I do not mind that. I am asking regarding the components. I mean, does it affect my PSU (or other components) lifetime if I leave it ON all the time, even if I am not using the PC that much?
