Master/Slave Power strip

I didn't know where to ask this, so I just put it here. Hopefully a mod will move it to the right section.

 

Anyone knows if a Master/Slave power strip works when a PC is turned off?

 

For example, I want to put my PC on the Master socket, and the speakers, the monitor, and the phone charger on Slave sockets. Will they get turned off when I shut down the PC? I think the PC drains some energy even when it's off, but not sure.

I believe that really depends on the power strip that you are using - at what wattage it will trigger on/off states. There is no standard for that.

That's what they're made to do.

 

Of course, a lot depends on your PSU.  If you have a cheap PSU that's not ErP / EnergyStar compliant, the master/slave function will not work.

No cheap stuff. Only quality stuff! Haha

It's this one: https://www.jonnyguru.com/blog/2018/07/03/seasonic-prime-ultra-750-titanium-power-supply

 

It is indeed Energy Star certified. So I guess I'll be fine.

 

Thanks for popping by and helping out. Really appreciate it!

Yeah.  Then definitely the standby load is low enough to trigger the slave devices to turn off.
