Leds on my case

[xanorigg]

Hey, i just built my pc and i have 2 leds next to my audio ports on my front case and the other one is blinking, have i connected the wires somehow wrong?

Possibly, but not absolutely. If one is blinking it's possible that it is for the HDD led, and is correct, or you connected the wrong wiring to the HDD activity pins on the motherboard. Depends on the motherboard and the case. Check the manuals for both and make sure you know what is supposed to go where and that it IS going there. Kind of hard for use to tell you what you did or didn't do right without being there to see what you did or at least knowing what parts you have.

I checked and the front panel wires were not completely pushed down so now i did it and the led still blinks but not so often

Ok, well it's not terribly hard to figure out. Trace the LED that is flashing back to the motherboard pins, look at the layout on the motherboard manual diagram and see if it says that it is for the HDD LEDs.

Okay, my mobo manual says that there is hdd light and it should blink when the hdd is in use, so i think it okay?

Yes, if that is the wiring pins and LED that is blinking is the same that your case manual says is for HDD, or is the one you have connected to the motherboard HDD activity pins, then it is normal.
