Unless lubrex grease is any more permanent. Yes. The vaseline runs in hot temps, like next to the voltage regulators. Its the volume and mouldability (like clay) that you're looking for, with the electrically insulating properties too. My mistake was to not cover the CPU pins and socket. Also use petrolium jelly on the raised part of the socket with neoprene. Along with the usual areas - the back under the socket, 1"+ around the socket with vaseline and then build the neoprene up with layers cut to fit the socket.
Edit: I am talking from experience of CPU pelting not GPU pelting.
