    It is a thermal grease with silver in it. It generally has better heat transfer properties than what is normally used. It helps remove heat from the GPU to hte heatsink a little better.

    I don't know what you would run into by opening up your case, but anything is possible.

    I don't think its worth it. The heat sink and dissipation system looked pretty good (see pic in review). From past reviews I guess you could probably only shave off 1 or 2 degrees anyway.
