That or it's overheating.

It all feels cool, it's been in a box for 3 days. I've taken off the
side panel to give it air

Not that I'm an expert, but I was told that leaving the case off is a
bad idea

It is. A well-designed PC case will direct air flow over a specific path
to maximise heat transfer. Leaving the case off means that the air doesn't
flow over some components since it's not a closed system anymore, and so
your heat disspiation is less effective. Of course, this advantage is
negated if you have long ISA cards or other non-standard components that
might block airflow.
