I don't hear anything loud enough to be sure it's my cooler but i did hear something along the lines of bubbles popping a few days ago.
Currently the cooler is connected to the motherboard, would connecting it to the psu possibly make a difference?

No, it must be connected to the motherboard.
37-38c idle is fine. However, CS-GO should never cause a i7-4790k to hit 80c+, as the CPU should still practically be idling.
Do you still have the stock cooler? If so why not try it instead of the h55 to see if it makes a difference?

Yeah, definitely above average. I have a i5-3470 and it idles between 22-31c on average. Also never goes above 55-57c max when gaming (Tomb Raider, Dota 2, Fallout 3, etc).

And you do not have another PC in which you can test the h55? Without another CPU cooler its difficult to provide guidance as we need to eliminate the cooler as the cause. Maybe you can borrow a cooler from someone? A gaming friend of yours who kept his stock cooler?

OK, there is a possibility that it might fit if you use the extra mounting brackets for the h55. It is worth a shot. If the temps are a lot lower then you know that it it the h55 which is faulty.
