Ok so i agree with pritty much everything you said, however...
I have to point out that while you done your best to keep the playing field level so to speak, you missed out one thing. Fans
You tested an AIO vs a Air cooler, now granted you could say you tested 'out of the box' coolers, which is fine, but that means your also testing fans and that has to be noted in the results, which you didnt note.
If you want to test AIO vs Air, then imo you should have taken out as many variables as possible which includes the fans since they are most certainly something people often switch out.
If it were me, i would have used the Noctua fans on both the AIO's and the Air heatsinks. That way its down purely to the heatsink vs the Pump+rad unit.
Your results could not only be down to the whole AIO vs Air cooler thing, but also a comparison between the Corsair fans and the Noctua fans, Since your using Noise as a point of testing, the difference in performance could be down to the Corsair fans being louder and as such not able to spin up as fast and thus cool as well. The point of the video (as far as im aware) however isnt a comparison of fans, but rather Air vs AIO.
