If a desktop PC is hooked up to the Master slot, will the power supply have to be turned off completely for it to turn of the Controlled ports?

I have my desktop plugged into the master and a pair of monitors into the controlled ports. All I do is a normal shutdown command when I'm finished using the PC, and a minute or so later the power drops from the monitors entirely. Works like a charm!

Hi Daniel, mine turns the other outlets off several minutes after going to standbyWeather yours goes off depends on the change in on/STBY current draw.-The big screen TV also turns the other outlets off several minutes after STBY(RED Led light on TV front panel still on)

Nope. Not unless you consider inside your "Desktop" computer a desk top hard drive. It fits nicely inside one of the bays of your tower. The picture shows a 'bare' drive. No Power. At least the one I received.

It does not completely turn off, however it is very quiet. I have my tower on my desk next to the monitor, and I cannot hear the power supply over the CPU cooler.

Enough to power the *entire* load your motherboard presents, plus a safety factor for inefficiency plus startup. It does not regulate the 12V, so no. Use a reputable 12VDC power supply, not one of those $8 specials. When I use these, I build the entire system and power it from an ordinary high-efficiency PSU, run at full load. Measure the power draw with a Kill-A-Watt. Size the 12VDC supply accordingly.

I just tried it. I put my computer in sleep mode and all the devices that are plugged into the controlled slot turned off. So if your peripherals are plugged into the the controlled slots they will turn off.

On button yes, but i cant seem to find an off button i just flip the power supply switch. Really ice case though

Not really. I only bought it because I needed more ports. Unless you need more ports or the controller on the motherboard isn't working. There is no reason for it.

YES!! You just have to disable "power on w/monitor" in the general settings.

Many newer computers have an option to keep the usb ports powered to charge devices even when the pc is off. There may be an option in your bios to disable this feature.

yes but the power supply ate two of my hard drives and 2 usb sticks. I question the usb sticks but I plugged in a hard drive to the power supply which is hot swappable and it ate two of my hard drives.

Nothing else should be required on the PSU side of the equation ... However, you need to have the Power and Reset switches PROPERLY plugged into the "cpanel" pin-stack at the edge of the motherboard. Unfortunately the correct connect sequence isn't always intuitive ... sometimes the connections aren't "across" the 2x2 pins, but "along" each array.

If it is a good PSU like a Corsair, Seasonic or an Antec you will likely be fine. With a cheap PSU it will likely shut down your computer periodically at best and instantaneously at worst.

Depending on the machine it should be able to, but in general, no. I personally don't shut off my htpc, so I can't say for sure.

This is a low profile card and does not use a power cable. It uses power from the PCI slot on the motherboard.

no, it is not necessary to turn on the psu. I have not connected and mine is working.

No, I draws its power from the mother board. You may be thinking of USB hubs, which often require external power. Hope this helps.

Just plug it into the PCI express slot. Being fanless, it will receive enough power from the motherboard and not require direct connection to the power supply.
