PC Keeps overheating before BIOS

So the rig I'm trying to get up and running is an i9-7900x with an x299 Tomahawk motherboard that I got from a friend because he was having heating issues with his ~5 year old corsair AIO. 

 

I bought the H100i Elite to replace it but now that I installed it the pump still isn't going. I'm able to occasionally get into the bios and see that the CPU is at 95C with the pump showing 0rpm but I have no idea why it wouldn't be connected

Can you send a pic of the AIO connector going to the MB slot?

Should be like a fan header if memory serves me. It might be a faulty header or power connector

USB 2.0 connection in the middle here with the actual cable connected into CPU_FAN1. I've tried both ports for the USB connection

There's a flat cable that should plug into an included Commander core hub. That hub should be powered from the psu with a sata power connector.

All of the Commader core stuff is plugged in, currently trying all of the available power supply slots to see if it's an issue with that. Should I be plugged into the CPU fan pin regardless?

Try connecting the pump and fans into the Commander Core instead.

They're already plugged into the Commander Core, the proprietary connection to power included which I thought would control the pump. 

Edit: Sorry about the mess of cables, troubleshooting made mediocre cable management way worse
