I've been using this motherboard for six years and just spotted some goo—what might it be?

It seems the heat sink retains its protective plastic casing after installation. You may find a thin layer of adhesive film that can be removed. A paper towel with a touch of rubbing alcohol should work well for cleaning it off.

Turn off the GPU and the entire case—it's getting very cold inside!

Could be a leftover thermal pad material or something similar.
