I plan on getting a Raspberry Pi 5 and also plan on overclocking it. Theoretically would i be able to remove the fan out of the fan case and use the active cooler with the case instead? would it fit?

My opinion: I would not run the Pi overclocked in the original case, neither with the case fan nor with the active fan. The case is closed, no ventilation slots. This prevents good cooling. Better look for a case that lets air in and out well.

oof

would the active cooler fit in the original case anyways?

null

Since it is not bigger than the Pi and not higher than the USB and network ports, I would say yes.
