Quick question; is conducting paste for a boiler thermistor the same
as that used for computer processors? Or at least could I use the
stuff for PCs in a boiler?

If you mean the white runny paste - no. It begins to break down at about 90
deg C.
If you mean the green sticky stuff (silver loaded epoxy) this is good to
over 180 deg C

Silver loaded epoxy - great idea

Are you going to drill the bugger out when it fails ?

Use normal heatsink compound, a couple of quid a tube from the usual
electronic suppliers
