Re: Motherboard RGBs After Shutdown

Depending on your motherboard, you can probably change that in the bios settings so shutdown turns off all the RGB, as well as power to USB peripherals like mouse and keyboard, particularly if they also have RGB. LED lights use very little power though, so not a big deal. I did read somewhere years ago that even when turned off, many household items still have a low draw on power 24/7 which can add up cumulatively, and if that is true, then I expect a PSU still has some minor draw even when the PC is shutdown. I have got into the habit of turning the power off at the surge protector after shutdown on both my and my Mrs' rigs so there is no power at all running to either rig, more for peace of mind than anything else, but it does seem our power bills on average are perhaps a little lower... perhaps.
