What SSD do you have? Are you on the latest available firmware?

Something else in your PC is overheating and dumping heat onto your SSD. Check your CPU and GPU temps.

Its a Kignston 64gb. im not to sure which type/model so if you could tell me how to find out ill tell you. as for firmware i havnt updated since i got it last year so ther probably is a new one
as for temps they look normal
gpu whilst playing skyrim for 5 mins was max 60c
and cpu max was59c

SSD firmware needs updating, driver conflict, or corrupt OS. Your SSD is not overheating.

Ill update SSD now. i just reinstalled Windows OS two weeks ago

He said in his OP that the front of his case felt very hot too. Something is overheating inside his PC, we just know the SSD isn't the source of said heat.
