Standard air cooling just cuts out the middleman (water).

They use air to cool, the water only transports the heat from the generator (CPU) to the radiator. You also make it seem as though these units use water to cool. Once a water cooling solution reaches a certain amount of water flow, increasing the amount will not help the cooling in any way, so the limited flow in these units does not negatively contribute to its lack of performance. In open/standard water cooling you need it in order to fill and refill your cycle, to have a spot where the air can escape the system, to gauge if enough water is in the system or to get an estimate of the circulation (bubbling water can mean high circulation, flat surface can mean low etc.). In sealed cooling solutions, you don't need it because of the sealed nature (at least if the manufacturer does its job of delivering an air-free system and handles loss of liquid due to dissipation from the tubes adequately).
The potential spoiler in the midst of these results is the Silver Arrow, once again coming very close to the H100 at a lower price. The cooling advantage of the H100 on the high setting does come at a penalty though it's substantially louder as you'll see next in the noise test. The H60 falls 5.1C shy of the H80-not terrible considering its slimmer radiator and single fan design. The H100 is the runaway leader here, sporting a comfortable 3.3C lead over the H80.
Also note that the stock Intel cooler didn’t handle the 4.8GHz load reliably, so we don’t have results for it in this chart. Now that we're overclocked to 4.8GHz, these coolers are finally showing a temperature difference worthy of their price difference. This keeps those coolers relatively quiet even when running on high or medium at stock speeds. Due to the relativity cool temperatures during this test, some of the speed profiles for the H80 and H100 never hit their maximum RPM. Not surprisingly, all of the aftermarket coolers simply crush the stock Intel cooler however, it’s also worth nothing that the Silver Arrow outperforms both the H60 and H80, and nips at the heels of the H100 set to Medium fan speed.

The stock speed test doesn't provide much of a challenge for any of the Hydro Series coolers, leaving very little gap between them. We’ll start with our stock 3.5GHz test results and then move to the overclocked results. All three of the H80 and H100 speed settings are tested. Since the H60 has a PWM fan, we disabled any BIOS fan controls to ensure the fan was spinning at 100%. The top cover didn't affect our other tests and was left on for those. We had to leave the top cover off of our 600T chassis during the H100 tests due to its restrictive design otherwise the H100 results would have been horrendously skewed. Each Corsair Hydro Series cooler is mounted to blow air from outside the case over the radiator.
