I'm not saying his testing isn't accurate but.... Without being able to see the data I have no way of verifying they are accurate.
It is very hard to compare water cooling with air cooling in a case.
Comparing a H100 that keeps all hot air seperate from cool by using the case as the divider is putting the air coolers at an unfair disadvantage in my book.
To compare them equally both have to be drawing air from inside of case and air coolers need exhaust ducted out of case. If the air cooler exhaust is not ducted out of case some of the cooler exhaust air will be mixing with cooler intake air... and as the exhaust is hotter than intake it will keep increasing CPU temp.. and instead of peaking in 3-6 minutes might take 15 minutes.. or longer... to reach peak temp.
How long does it take to run 20 passes of LinX on an Intel Core i7-3930K (3.6GHz)?

Testing will be based on temperatures recorded by Real Temp after 20 passes of LinX stress test. The maximum absolute temperatures will be recorded after the test and averaged over the 6 cores.
