I also have results of 10c temp drops using Liquid metal pro On Kepler Gpus..
So if Liquid Metal pro is beyond the users Skill level.. I will suggest Liquid Metal Ultra as the 2nd best.
I have about 20 Tubes of MX-4 it is what i use on Customer Systems.. And it does lose on my Cpu by 5c to LP....
I Also do not need to read somebody else's results as i have done all this myself

Your results are based upon Liquid Metal Pro vs. Stock TIM on your GPU's..... Regardless, there are several cons that apply to LMP that are not worth the 5c difference that you state your PC has over MX-4.
At any rate, we are getting off topic here. You like LMP, I do not, can we agree to disagree?
The OP, has expressed disinterest in using Gallium as the primary element in his compound. We do not know what cpu cooler he is using, we do not know if he is willing to void his CPU warranty if it still has one, and we do not know if he is willing to apply a compound that is electrically conductive.
So with that said, we need further information from the OP.
I believe his last question was: "so it would probably just be easier to use the dielectric grease then"
In my opinion, to answer the OP's question, I believe that yes it would be easier to use dielectric grease.

. First versus the stock paste, and if it's not disastrous, I'll try it against AS5 and Noctua's paste.
