Has anyone repasted M1, M2, M3, M4 MBPs?

I know repasting is not really necessary as these Apple silicon chips run pretty cool. However, the MAX machines can run into thermal throttling, so I'm curious if anyone has done it and what their experience with this was in terms of temp differences and difficulty, etc. I had a hell of a time with this on my older 2014 MacBook Pro as the temps would be good but wouldn't last more than a few weeks. PTM7950 helped that but even that seemed to get worse over time.

I remember some YouTuber tried it and got worse results than factory, but maybe he didn’t do it right. I can’t remember what video but it was a long time ago when they first came out.

It would be interesting to see if liquid metal improved thermals on the Max or Ultra. I would never do it myself because I don’t have the confidence in my skills to risk damaging such an expensive machine.

Found a couple videos of a guy who tried Arctic MX-6 and a Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut thermal pad (graphene sheet). Not exactly scientific and he didn't focus on the temps at all just benchmark scores:
