I grab whatever is closest. I won't go for extreme OCes or anything so if the CPU runs 2C warmer it's no skin off my back. Got a tube of AS5 somewhere, maybe some old MX1. As long as it does better than an air gap and isn't toothpaste I'm ok with it.
i'm guessing you used peanut butter? also i'm an avid fan of as5.

Vaseline....
Seriously. Worked for me. I'm a noob and had absolutely no thermal paste available.
once I scraped away the stock, I didn't replace it with anything.
And it kept shutting down /// thermal event.
{ If you have nothing else....

Used AS5 a few years back. Worked fairly well, but a real mess to clean up and sticks to absolutely everything. Still have an unopened tube of that sitting in the drawer, it's a couple of years old, so probably gone bad by now.
90% or higher isopropyl alcohol is best one or two swipes and clean.
