It's Memorial day weekend here in Atlanta GA and its a rainy day outside so I thought I'd hack up my Sonata a bit. Since I did all this in one go, I couldn't determine out much help each mod did to my temps.
Before:
With Panaflo 92mm M on my SP97 and a 120mm L as exhaust. Stock passive Epox heatsink on NB.
200x11 1.65 vcore: About 43 idle, 49 load, 32 system constant
After:
With Panaflo 92mm H on SP97, 120mm L as exhaust, Panaflo 92mm M as side intake, Zalman 92mm ZM-F2 as blow hole exhaust, Antec 120mm as floor intake, Vantec Iceberg4Pro on NB. All either plugged into "Fan Only" connectors or into the Sunbeam Rheobus pumping at most 60% power to each of the four ports.
219x10.5 1.825 vcore: About 41 idle, 48 load, 31 system constant
EDIT: Did a spacer mod, and slowed down all fans with Rheobus (see http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=296524&highlight=spacer) and now:
215x10.5 1.650 vcore: About 38 idle, 44 load, 32 system constant
Sweet! It's even quieter before the mod! Just wait till the AS5 finishes its burn-in period.
1.) Floor fan
I asked about this idea on these forums earlier, and quite a few people tried it out and liked it a lot. Here's mine:
floor fan
It's the stock 120mm Antec fan that came with my Sonata. My first time using a dremel, too. Oh yea, the case is sitting on stacks of paper, so there's plenty of breathing room for the floor fan
2.) Blow hole
Inner view (can bearly see it, but it's there):
blow hole 1
Top view:
blow hole 2
Those scratches aren't really there, my camera just did a bangup job of revealing them.
3.) Side fan:
Outer view:
side fan 1
side fan 2
Inner view:
side fan 3
4.) With duct (ghettofied):
Used those plastic cylindrical container you get for free when you order soup at Chinese takeouts. Attached them on with some Erector set screws and holsters.

The complete image:
ta da!
Some nice wire management too:
wires 1
wires 2
Tell me what you think! Constructive criticism please.
