It's always been common knowledge to power off the PSU when using a clear the cmos jumper or switch. This is to make sure there is no current going to the board. Besides, it takes, what, one second to flip the rocker switch on the PSU, right? Only no name cheap PSU's these days don't come with rocker switches... I've always turned off the PSU and I'll always continue to do it, until a manufacturer tells me not to.
I remember back in the day when even decent PSU's didn't have rocker switches, and people complained loudly, then they started putting them back on again...sigh...the things companies do to save a buck....omit a $3 switch....
