Some people confuse fan and heatsink. Do you want to run it without a heatsink? If yes, then please don't.

Just dap a small bit of paste and REST it firmly on top and check post then remove and clean easily.

 

While only a few seconds, don't leave the heatspreader bare. Just place a cooler heatsink and fan on it with a dab of paste and check, you dont need to clip it in, just firmly have it on top and flat.
