Hey there. Thanks for the answer. Could you please tell me how it can affect the other components aswell? I thought quality PSUs were able to protect the other components when it comes to that?

Also even if i did is it possible for PSU to damage the other PC components aswell? I mean let's say my PSU stopped working in the future because of this reason, would it affect the other PC components as it has been pointed out in the first comment in this thread?

Since it was the first PC I've ever build, I did get obsessed with it and thought I was shutting it down properly and I also thought that i was saving energy by doing so. I did this practice for 6-7 months then I read people are telling not to do it which I stopped doing it. Did i harm my PSU too much in that 6-7 months because I did it everyday albeit I didn't do it constantly as I've wait for 30 minutes-1 hour after each shutdown but most of the time my PC stayed on throughout the day. I've asked Corsair Customer Service about it plenty of times aswell and they all told me that it is fine to do and won't cause any problems so I am literally torn apart about this matter. I've also asked this question on many websites and the answers were always mixed, some people said nothing is wrong with it and other people said that inrush current would greatly reduce the lifespan of my PSU and that some people killed their PSUs that way. I just couldn't reach a conclusion about this question. I've stopped doing this practice for months and would only flip off the PSU if I need to do a mainteance or need to move my PC but still I wonder if i weared out my PSU too much in that 6-7 months span and it kinda pisses me off aswell that I used the PSU like that...

Hey everyone. I am using a Corsair RM850x v.2 PSU and wondering if it is safe to flip the PSU switch off after shutting down PC? I read some people say it can harm components because of the inrush current after each startup? Is that even true and there is a proof for that? Thanks.

Hey everyone. I recently cleaned the dust from my computer case and installed a new GPU holder but while doing so i made a small mistake and scratched the panel that is below the GPU holder. I want to remove the scratchings from there and found a plastic scratch remover on the net but I am wondering what exactly is this area made from? Is it plastic, steel or? I took the pictures before the accident happened so it is not possible to see the scratches. The computer case is Corsair 5000D Airflow. Thank you and have a nice day.
