I don’t think that will offer more cooling, the evacuation of the heat is more a factor of the fan than the cooler itself.

The heatsink collects the heat from the chip and then transfers it to the heat pipes which are filled with a coolant which either evaporates or migrates the heat to the fin block where the coolant condenses or directly sheds the heat via the fan block air across the fins. The gating factor is the fans ability to evacuate the heat. Which is why many people use applications which ramp up the fans RPM’s. But there is a balance here you don’t want to run the fans straight out between the noise they also do wear out.

But there is a balance here you don’t want to run the fans straight out between the noise they also do wear out.
You also don’t really have any choices here as the cooler assembly is custom to Apple and the different series are unique. I would make sure the thermal paste has been refreshed and the dust buildup has been cleaned out of the fins and fan blades as well as the logic boards surfaces.
I would recommend getting a good thermal monitoring app like [link|https://www.tunabellysoftware.com/tgpro/|TG Pro] first seeing where you are thermally, and then clean things up. Leverage the fan control features so when the system hits a thermal threshold the fans speed up.
Lastly, be careful you don’t push this system too far as it’s not really designed to support heavy graphics that many apps and games use today. Even the 2011 system isn’t powerful enough for heavy photo editing or video redering.
