You could even throw some paste on the middle of the chip, and a dab of krazy glue on the corner to keep the heatsink in place, if you can't get your hands on proper thermal adhesive

It looks to me like that was the heatsink for the VRM (MOSFETS). If so, you don't even really need it there if you're not overclocking. Especially if it's a higher end board with multiple phases for the CPU.
