CPU use without heatsink

[Jia-shen]

My liquid cooling has reached the end of its life so I need to replace it. I removed it and now there's no heatsink. Can I use a house fan to blow air into my cpu and use my computer for an hour or two?
I have a amd fx 8320 with a gigabyte GA-970DS3P.
I read some thread and it said your CPU could fail within a few seconds of boot up. But that thread was really old.
Also I have 2 side fans and 2 top fans and 1 back fan.
If I can use a house fan to help cool should I just place it towards the side fans which are directly in front of the CPU or should I open the side case and have the house fan directly blow onto the CPU.

No desktop or laptop cpu exists that can run for more then a few seconds without a heatsink

Do NOT try it you have one of the hottest running CPUs around that needs a reasonably good heatsink yo keep it cool

It's fine, as long as you can keep your thumb on the CPU lid while running it.
Above is not recommended since fat/grease in your finger will need to be cleaned off afterwards and I doubt your finger will like the cooking temperatures for longer than 1 second. (yes, it will heat to and over boiling temperatures)
