Its thermal transfer paste.

Its designed to transfer the heat to another surface, which the paste must also touch.

At a guess I would say that its meant to also make contact with the CD drive case.
If it doesn't then the factory may have applied it in error, maybe some versions of the board are in different cases so they squirt the stuff on anayway.
