If I put my computer to sleep will it put my 2nd power supply to sleep as well? (I want it to)

I am not sure I understand what you want to do but if you power down your primary power supply the secondary PSU driven off the ADD2PSU does not power itself off. It will run until you power it down.

I'd think this is related to whether your computer port goes to sleep when the computer does.

Using it with my MacPro, power to the outlets remains on while the computer is sleeping.

The only thing I can think of is whether or not your computer is on when you try it. Other than that, I don't believe there is a power switch,(you might look it over as you may have a newer version than the two I have).

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.

Try going to "System Preferences" and select "Energy Saver". Uncheck the box that says "Put Hard Disks to Sleep When Possible". That seems like a great thing which will help you save power, but from my experience it just causes issues with external hard drives. Hope this fixes things for you.

With a USB wireless mouse connected and the ability to wake your machine from "sleep" in your BIOS, yes. I have two laptops one has that option and one doesn't. It will not wake from a power off. You also could possibly use a "Wake on Lan" magic packet if your laptops built-in ethernet jack supports it.

The lights turn off when you shut your computer off completely. Putting your pc on sleep does not turn off the lights.

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.

No, I do not. I bought it for a friend and will try to find out. I think that I actually ended up with a similar but more powerful power supply.

No. It does not require a power connection from the power supply. It draws the power it needs from the PCI-E slot.

I bought this for a daughter. She says monitor goes to sleep but you can still hear sound. But if you plug into power socket monitor will remain on. I hope this helps.

It will absolutely not. You will need a new power supply unit of at least 800w to prevent any overloads that could fry your computer.

Probably, depends on what else is in the system and the CPU power draw you have

No. After use I unplug from electricity. I use this only once a moth to backup my computers.

It won't even come awake without plugging in BOTH power supply connections. That may be the reason it seemed DOA. When I got mine I upgraded my Power Supply from a 425w to a, new, 750w. I didn't try it with the old supply, so I am not sure if, or how well it might run with the 425w. I think it will highly depend on how many other items are sucking down power and the requirements for those units.

Possible, but if your computer is working well otherwise to be honest your power is probably fine. It's cheap enough to try.
