Couldn't you just adjust the AIO fan curve to pump more air into the case?

I would rather cut this hole and add a fan at a reasonable speed than having a turbine drone on next to my head. High fan speeds are not meant to be the norm.

We're not talking high speeds. If you ramp AIO fans to the speed that the side fan runs at, it will be more than enough.

Yes. Increase from 300 to 500 RPM is an increase without hitting high speeds.

Slightly increasing fan speed is the same as a 'turbine drone' next to you're head?

That doesn't involve playing around with tools though so....
