Is the fan PWM and rad optimized?

Definitely not right, the stock cooler can do better than that! Could be the pump not generating enough flow, so maybe the mobo is only telling it to work at like 50% or it is broken. The other thing could be the heat fins in the radiator are really bent and air flow is really slow.

idk what you mean the fan is plugged into a fan header on the motherboard and the pump is plugged into the cpu header, this is an ITX system but usually it runs around 30 degrees. My heat in my house is at 80 because the pipes are frozen could that be affecting it? the other components are at reg temps though

That's called "ambient temperature."

 

I suspect a number of things:

  • Your mount isn't good (not sure how much of a problem that is for AIOs).
  • You are overclocking (though given that you find this to be a predicament, probably not).
  • You don't have the components properly optimized (i.e. fan not running fast enough).

Well my mount may not be the best, but I'm at stock clock speeds and my fan is running fast as hell i can hear it lol

i have a h80i paired with a 3770k, im getting almost exactly same temps as you maybe 40-43 ish idle, maybe the water block isn't making solid contact on the cpu, might want to put something beetwen the backplate and the motherboard, im not sure though... under load i get about 75 C which is alot.... it's at stock btw, no overclocking, i think it was slightly lower temps with the h80 i rma'ed had about 35C idle i think.

 

either way the temps are absolute rubbish.

With your gigabyte board you can go into the BIOS and see if the CPU header is working at a certain percentage, versus being optimized for the performance. Have you tried seeing what it does under load? 

 

Also using a program like SpeedFan you can individually see if your fans are working at their max.

you guys don't think it could be that my ambient temp is so high right now?

I have some artic silver thermal compound, I might try and a do a remount and dual fans on it.

No, you're right with that. Generally the cpu header will be optimized, but in your case it could be set at 50% or 25% of the maximum speed instead of optimizing itself. 

 

Try seeing what the temps are under load. Reapplying the thermal compound could help too.
