I certainly wouldn't run any of my cards without heatsinks. My advice would be to put the stock cooler back on if your aftermarket one doesn't fit.

Or you might commit suicide:
1) Waiting the 2-3 weeks for RMA
2) Having the RMA rejected
3) smelling the vrm's burning.

Sounds sketchy if it doesn't fit right.

id rather commit suicide than hear the stock cooler during the night

So don't keep the computer in your bedroom. Problem solved.

running the memory with no sinks is probably OK IF you underclock the memory (best way is in the BIOS) but you MUST have heatsinks on the VRMs.  they WILL cook themselves with no sink.
