I tested it and added another fan which still hasn't cooled it down. But if it isn't working and I just haven't checked properly I'll find out that it's not working on Monday.

It's on default voltage, but for some reason I can't update the BIOS because it doesn't recognise the file. But I'll mention that to them to see if they would be able to do it.
Are you using a closed or an open water cooling (closed or open circle)?

I think open but I'm not too sure.
Removing the side panel is a worse idea because it disrupts the airflow of intake/exhaust.
The only time the above doesn't apply is when your intake/exhaust airflow doesn't exist, i.e broken or shit fans and their placement.
My CPU seems to have cooled down when I lowered some of the CPU settings/the temperature cooled down.
Thank you to everyone that helped!

What settings did you decrease?
If you haven't done so already, the ideal solution would be to undervolt your CPU whilst keeping stock clock speeds.
Undervolting is possible in almost every case, because CPU manufactures set their CPUs to use a higher, 'safer' voltage to account for differences in silicone quality.
You can search for a guide online on how to undervolt with ThrottleStop. It's not very complicated at all, just start slow and work in steps (similar to overclocking in that sense). A lot of people do this with their laptops because laptop CPUs get hot very quickly. I personally undervolted my Dell XPS 13 9370 (with an Intel i7-8550u) successfully.

I tried undervolting it but that didn't work so I ended up changing the max processor state to 60% which worked and hasn't affected the performance.

I think that may be because GMod doesn't really utilise all the cores of your CPU very effectively, so it doesn't reach 60%. It should affect it significantly in other games and applications though, so I would look for a permanent solution through elimination.

I tried it on GTA/American Truck Simulator and they're the only games that I play and it ran find on those so it's gonna be alright for now hopefully.
