Are you suggesting it stays on constantly even after the psu is unplugged?

If you're saying it's after you've shut your PC down, but the PSU is still plugged in, then that's perfectly normal. It's indicating there is a power feed into the motherboard from the PSU, I don't know many modern motherboards that DON'T keep the LED on. You can usually disable it in the BIOS if you so wish.

It stays on when the pc is off and the psu is plugged in but it also stays on when the pc is running. Is that okay?
Also these are the post state LED's
