Hello! i am having an issue with my case getting hot, one night while gaming, my pc crashed and i touched the side panel and it was burning up, took it off let the hot air escape, but the Reservoir ( mine is metal ) was scorching hot! it has not crashed since, but my cpu temps idle at like 35 and get up into the 40's while gaming, gpu pretty much stays at 40 all the time ( Radeon R9 270x ), never had this issue with it overheating using my old case, i have 2 front intake fans, top is exhaust and back is exhaust, i am using the Cooler Master ML120L RGB ( light changed to red by itself in the rgb settings for some reason ), needing some answers! maybe the cooler is faulty?

Unless you are blowing hot radiator air inside the case or have multiple case fan failures, the case shouldn't be getting particularly hot... even only a single good exhaust or intake fan in the right place should be enough to prevent the case from getting warm to the touch.
 
maybe there is some clog in your cooling loop, and components can't get cooled properly.
try gaming with msi afterburner with CPU temp showing. if CPU temp gets high, see if the pump is working or not, also see check if the radiator is working by feeling the in/out hose.

All fans are moving fine, as mentioned there are 2 140mm fans for intake, 1 120mm on top of outtake, then the both of the fans on the cpu cooler are outtake, i am using razer nzxt s340

I installed the cooler as according to the manual, the fan facing in the case is out take and the back fan is outtake, i did install how they told me, but shouldn't the fan facing inside be out take and the back outtake ?

This is when gaming on rust with high settings.
