So to sum this up i bought a computer back in 2017 which is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NAGW8KY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, the computer runs great aside from me noticing when starting certain games the computer CPU fan really turns on and starts heating up the computer a lot. To the point where the tempered glass feels like it could burn if touching the glass for to long. So i cleaned the whole inside, took off the top fan for the cooler and cleaned the dust still same thing happens. Im not that knowledgeable when it come to liquid cooling. So i'm wondering if there are any videos for the cooling fan to clean it or do i have to add any liquid to keep it going, or even if i have to apply a new thermal paste. Trying to see what people think as i have never had this problem. Thanks in advance!

Solution
I presume the fan on the radiator you show on the back of the case is blowing its warm air out. So that means there is fresh air being drawn in elsewhere, I hope by a different fan somewhere - the top? The front? Anyway, check for dust clogging in three places.
(a) the fan itself, AND the intake fan(s);
(b) the thin air passages of the radiator that fan blows through;
(c) there should be a dust filter (often a thin sheet of foam) on the intake side (outside) of the air INTAKE fans elsewhere. IF there is more than one such intake, check both. Ensure that the dust filters on the intakes are clean. also make SURE those fans actually work.

The CPU cooling system (that's what this is) is designed to adjust its fan speed according to the temperature inside the CPU chip. As you do heavy work like many games, the CPU works a lot harder and generates more heat. Hence the CPU cooling system responds by speeding up that fan to remove the heat faster. And of course, when you do such heavy work, everything else on the mobo also genrates more heat, and there ought to be some other fans (at least the intake fans) ensuring air flow through the case to deal with that. But that should not leave so much heat inside the case that the side panel feels hot. That I why I suggest looking at all the places that might be limiting the air flow into and out of the case.

So the computer has two front fans that work great they are cool on temp its just the one fan heating up bad. Im assuming it could be dust on the other side of the radiator i gotta clean then since i only took the easy fan off the front to clean it. Ill definitely look more into it thought i could need some fluid for it or however the system work, so this helps if its a simple dust problem. Thank ya for the help
