PSU switch

[buildrebuild]

Hi,

Maybe a bit of a dumb question, but I want to build a computer and see that the Corsair VX450W PSU has a on/off switch. Is this always switched to on, so when I power up with the computers front "on" button, it starts up, or do you have to switch it on each time you start the computer.

Thanks,
C

Many PSU's have a switch on the back. If it's in the on position you can just use the front case button to power PC on and off, if it's switched to off the front case button won't have any effect.

Thanks for clearing that up for me Uridium.
