@Funkteon Most of what you saw here can be done with a hand drill, hacksaw and some files. It's just gonna take more time. Seriously, the big problem with lack of DIY skills is that people can't even think of alternate tools or methods to achieve the same thing. If someone cuts a hole with a circular saw on camera, people think you can't just do things differently to end up with the same result.

@notpinhead3514 first things first, I have no idea which fan speeds and types of fans you're using but I noticed you're running 3 exhaust and 2 intakes. It's not a huge deal, but it's possible that you're extracting more air from the case than is going in through the intake fans, which is typically called a "negative pressure" system. Rather than explaining it poorly I'm going to point to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a12aDCxrcts I don't know which kind of RX 580, it might be a "blower" reference card (one radial fan that blows through a heatsink and the air comes out the case) or a "custom"/"aftermarket"/"partner" card which is sold by a brand that uses a different cooler design, typically two and sometimes three axial fans. At this point it's kinda complex because of all the variables regarding the airflow, your type of videocard cooler and the size of your case. If you have a way to actually see how the air is moving through the case like demonstrated in the video it might help pick your new intake/exhaust setup. In case your cooling system is actually working well, air is going in and out without issue, I'd recommend cleaning the dust and replacing thermal paste if you haven't. In case of your GPU, if you're going to try cleaning your videocard take the chance to look at the thermal pads and see if they're all crummy and worn. Your local PC hardware store might have replacement thermal pads in stock, but make sure you get ones with the same thickness as your original ones. If you're looking to replace the cooler there's the Hyper 212: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNjkDoYZYjU (tested on a Ryzen 5 1600 - dropped from 63 to 52 degrees at load).

@lameduck1690 the cooler has a noctua fan between heatsinks so it's active. Either way both active and passive heat sinks need air flow. Only having an exhaust may push hot air out, but cold air must go in. A case with only exhaust will have negative pressure and pull air in from crevices, but the flow is severely restricted.

With an electrode going around the magnet you can get a reasonably consistent coat all around. If you grind the coat away you need to make it even all around which means a precision jig that allows you to rotate the workpiece and fix a grinding tool with some kind of fine adjustment.

So from what I understand the 3.5 headphone jack has 5 pins, 1 ground 2 input and 2 output which are cut off if headphones are inserted so it's connected in series... But are the aux in jacks also straight up connected in series? And the audio signals mix just fine if for example one is playing a game while listening to a podcast on the cellphone?

I think the large volume of air inside the bellows going into the smaller PC case make it very effective at achieving positive pressure. You can't fill up a balloon with a box fan but you can with a hand pump. This works more like a pump than a fan.
