That's a BIOS option, ERP or something? leaves the USB ports and such powered for on/OFF charge if that option is not enabled. Many boards do this, perhaps the Sabertooth had it enabled.
Thank you, ERP is not the problem here. USB ports are powered in S3 & S5 on all new machines, but if there’s nothing connected there should be no drain (especially when shut down). If somebody has a kill-a-watt please post your readings.
