Hello

It is waterproof or heat sink grease.

Thermal grease

Computer stores, Radio Shack, BestBuy and similar stores sell it although there are
different types.

Check with your system manufacturer or motherboard manufacturer or the manufacturer of the processor
for the types recommended. Most of the shops will be good advice because they use it often.

I hope this helps.
