On and off switch outlet
Last response: in Components
my computer is hooked up to a light switch that can be turned off and on. so every time im done with the computer i shutdown. then flip the power switch off. can doing that repeatedly over time damage your computer powersupply? or anything?

Switched mode power supplies don’t like being turned on and off repeatedly but a good quality supply should be OK Why are you asking this question as turning off the computer at the supply after you have shut down is normal use and should not cause any problems? The alternative of leaving the computer powered up all the time after you have shut down will cause the power supply to have a shorter life and cost more in electricity.

'The alternative of leaving the computer powered up all the time after you have shut down will cause the power supply to have a shorter life and cost more in electricity.'
turning the psu completely off (as long as you shut windows etc down properly)
will give you a longer life for your psu
