You are right! I do not even know what it is for.
Its a metal-bearing goo that you spread on top of the CPU casing (about an inch square) to help heat get transferred to the piece of metal on top of it, which is in turn cooled by air or a fan or liquid. As it ages it stops transferring heat -- planned obsolesence. Then you have to completely disassemble your computer to get at it, risking breaking things and cracking aging wiring.

Thank you. I do not know what CPU means. I do not know how to do those.

Its the part that gets the hottest when it thinks too much. CPU means Cool Me Please Or Else. Occasionally they can melt, but usually the computer senses high temperatures and slows the CPU down, turns on the fan or cuts the power. My laptop turns itself off if I do anything awesome with it, like play a game or try to compile a big program.

Heat transfer to prevent over heating
You realize that you've become the guru of cpu paste and who knows what else, of course. Disciples and acolytes are now at your door as are detractors and iconoclasts ready to tear you down. This is the fate that you now must live through.

Not literally, but that is the essence of what a CPU is. It is the hot part that does the most, and it is the most expensive part.
I might look it up. Central Processing Unit. I thought I might get a long list for CPU like usual, but I didn't. Maybe I do not know the future.

What's new...... I've been rebuilding and fixing PCs for years, but sadly I did not keep it secret when I started.

When I started you actually needed a screw driver to take them apart

Wouldn't you know people are talking to me when I have something else important to get done today?
That hardly ever happens.
