It could be your cooling system is just not working. Have you tested that or was that already mentioned?

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.

What voltage is the 4790K running on. Some people have had the voltage randomly turn up in the BIOS. Also is your BIOS up to date?

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)?

@olie random question , do you have your tower closed or side painel removed? If u get it closed , remove your painels so air can go around , reduce the temperature inside

I think open but I'm not too sure.

I've been told that this will make the problem worse as it will stop the cooling system from working/will cause dust to go inside.

While true, it also allows your PC to actually cool down especially with the UK reaching temperatures of 30+ degrees (stfu you american peeps). If it is for a short period of time, A couple of days shouldn't harm it much if anything while the heatwave is around.

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.

I always have keep mines open without any problem , it collect dust , 6 in 6 months desmount everything , clean up , put termal paste and mount again  , but i always keep it open and theres no actually warn , and here we have high temperatures at summer

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.
