[LAU] USB has power even when PC is shut down?

[Thomas Ilnseher]

Yes, usb power may be supplied via +5VSB (5V Standby power), even when the PC
is powered down. This is in order to support "Power On By Keyboard" (when one is using a USB keyboard).

All Mobos i came across that support that feature had some jumper(s) to select wether power is supplied by +5VSB or by the normal +5V rail. 
if that power is a concrn to you, RTFM to find this jumper.
