It sounds just like when stuff is extending and thus makes a sort of cracking noise. Like your house or wooden stairs sometimes make it.

This mainly happens during/while heavy gaming .

I dunno what exactly makes the sound but the cause definitely seems to come from increased temperatures. Maybe the glass side panel of case?

Is this normal? Or maybe its monitor? I am not sure. Case or monitor

Could be the monitor. I've got an edge lit monitor that gets hot in HDR mode. Makes noises like you describe.

Lots of electricals in my house do this at night when they cool down too. Normal I would say.

Yep, sounds normal to me - plastic in particular will expand and contract according to heat.
