From what I was able to find on chinese forums these aftermarket graphene coats they put on are useless for cooling and just an IQ tax as they put it.
In fact it's possible it makes the performance worse depending on how it's done.
None of them use pure graphene since it would be extremely expensive, It's all just composite stuff, if it's graphene at all.
On a worse case scenario the coating is actually just black paint and potentially releases toxic fumes once heated up.
Other users said the graphene coating started chipping off on theirs, and if it really is graphene.. well it's extremely electrically conductive, so have fun with electrically conductive flakes landing on your motherboard.

I wouldn't risk it with these aftermarket coatings personally. Just save the extra few bucks and get the aluminum or pure copper versions.
