I don't get why to add such big coolers, as Raspberry engineer Jamesh stated that both official cooler solutions prevent throttling:
I did confirm that active cooler never went above 82.05°C with measurements 4.31ms apart on average, by running hottest "stress-ng --cpu 0 --cpu-method fft" for more than 20 minutes, and overclocked with 3000MHz:

So 6.45$ active cooler is good enough for Pi5, no need for bigger coolers.
54 isn't particularly hot. The Pi will throttle at 85. The Pi 5 can get there fairly quickly when a big workload is used, but the active cooler or case fan will easily keep it cool enough to prevent throttling.
