I turned off my desktop, all the leds are off, nothing is running in my system, but the light on my Razer mouse is still on, also when i pluged my ipod or my phone to the usb slot, it charged full battery. This does not happened to my old pc.

Your sure it's not in sleep-mode? I do not believe the USB-ports are powered when the computer is turned off. In sleep-mode they are. 

 

EDIT: seems it possible. Read this might be usefull for  you

Yeah my Razor mouse stays on and my iphone still charges when power is off...

Quizzical

Motherboard manufacturers started offering powered USB ports while the computer was off a while ago, precisely so that you could use them to power mobile devices without having to fire up your desktop.  It's not universal, so it depends on the particular motherboard you have.  But once they've got powered USB ports, they don't care if the device attached is a cell phone or a mouse.

From your motherboard manual:

---

If you desire a faster, less restricted way of charging your Apple devices,
such as iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch, ASRock has prepared a wonderful solution for you - ASRock APP Charger. Simply install the APP Charger
driver, it makes your iPhone charge much quickly from your computer
and up to 40% faster than before. ASRock APP Charger allows you to
quickly charge many Apple devices simultaneously and even supports
continuous charging when your PC enters into Standby mode (S1), Suspend to RAM (S3), hibernation mode (S4) or power off (S5). With APP
Charger driver installed, you can easily enjoy the marvelous charging
experience.

Odds are the USB slots provide power even during S5 (power off) state even without that driver - the driver just allows them to go into High Power mode (which would allow devices such as iPods to draw more current and thus charge faster).
