0 dB Fan button???

Is it a good idea to keep it on or off???

Kinda depends. If your PC is cool enough then having fans run slow/silent is fine. If it's not, then you should probably have the fans doing more work.

My asus 850w thor psu has its fan upwards pointing to the gpu so I'm guessing having the button pushed in is recommended if the gpu gets a little hot???

My pc does get a little hot due to the gpu mainly hitting 50c. I own the asus rog helios case that is a big case. Thought i'd pick up the asus thor psu since that looks nice with it.

Wouldn’t 0db be ‘off’? Might as well remove it if that’s the case.

50c is nothing

If you like dusting your PC often then go ahead, turn the switch off.

Dust gets clogged up if 0db fan is off on psu???

Even with the 0db, it'll still turn on when hot enough.
It's just a choice between being off until hitting the threshold temp and then bursting into life with a sudden burst of sound, or just sitting at a low speed all the time and ramping up smoothly as needed.

does fan sound really bother ppl that much?

No/less noise is nice, yes, but not the only benefit. Less dust accumulation. Less wear on the fan(s).

most psus will adjust the fan speed according to their temps anyway
no real point in it having the on/off switch unless it has no automatic fan controller
