Can this compound be used for CPUs?

Hi,

We have this stuff on hand already so I was wondering if it could be used with an Intel Xeon CPU:

Well technically don't see why not. What you need to worry about is whether it's inert or not, so to know whether it'll react with the copper or aluminum plated cpu coolers.
This is a nice overview of different things people used on the sinks:
