New to AIO - CPU running at 95 degrees

Hello,

Today I bought a MSI C280 AIO from Microcenter as part of a modest upgrade to some parts for my PC. That being said I am still using my old MSI Z270-A motherboard. After installing the AIO the fans on the radiator are spinning, but my CPU is running at 95c. I did not have cooling issues with my old copper air cooler.

I installed everything but the RGB, as it seems the Z270 doesn't support the 5V RGB. Since that is the only cord connected to the pump I am wondering if this also powers the pump itself and not just the lighting.

I am thinking the solution is to get an ARGB hub and plug the pump into that. Is my assumption and solution heading me in the right direction? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
