My pc is working fine and recently i have been annoyed with that red light it kills my rgb vibe so i looked it up in the board manual and i found out is shouldn't be on and that indicates a problem with my cpu. My cpu is the i5 8400 with the gigabyte h370 gaming 3 wifi board. I checked all the cables and yesterday i looked at the pins on the motherboard and nothing was wrong. When the PC is shut down and powers on most of the time the led is off but right after restart it comes on

You might want to try to update your BIOS, and make sure the CPU power is seated properly (did you fully populate the connector or only half of it?). Since the system is working fine, I suspect some sort of bug.

I updated the bios too and and still nothing to F7. Yes a couple of days before i saw that for the cpu power i had put in 6 pins and 2 hanging outside that is fixed and the problem continues.

6? Uhhh.... the 6+2 is for graphics cards, not for the CPU. Be glad it didn't blow up :P  CPU is 4+4.

Yes it is a 4x4 pin i just put it wrong so that 2 pins were hanging awkwardly out. it even says cpu on one side of the cable
