    It's not as linear as "they're not that great."
    AIOs are usually compared to Noctua, which is honestly le créme de la créme of air cooling.
    They take longer to heat-soak because the heat is transferred elsewhere, thus usually taking longer to reach peak temperature than [Noctua] air coolers, even if that temperature is higher.

    Regardless of that, AIO has a coolness factor that air cooling does not.

    Safer shipping. An AIO has a little block and pump attached to the board and the big-ass radiator mounted to the case. A tower cooler has a big chunk of metal hanging at some distance off of the board. Delivery truck goes over a large bump or air freight has a hard landing, and you now have a RMA shipment to deal with for a rather large package (and a big-ticket component you need to eat the cost of replacing due to damage).

    Well, the *real* answer will also factor in the pricing/arrangements Corsair can give an SI. Notice which case and RAM is also being used.
