Off pc power plug when not in use

Hi guys,

Is it recommended to off the switch of your pc when not in use? or does it have any harmful effect on doing so?

Thanks

Better to leave it on.

Many PSU death come from trying to power up capacitors that have been left unused for too long.

Even in standby mode, your desktop continue to drain power. Off it if you want to save electricity bill.

Previously had a few PSU death not sure if its caused by such however was on warranty.

my current one is a new corsair cs750m however it seems like whenever i leave my power plug on, comp no issue booting.

whenever i just on the power plug and turn on... start up issue rises where theres no beep sound etc...

You don't save much electricity. Current generation computers draw less than 1W when shut down.
