Whell I woudn't suggest to turn it on without a heatsink, because you will probably damage the CPU, you could power the system for 4-5 seconds but not longer and then you need to shut it down, but you do all this at your own risk, If I was in your case I would wait for the heatsink to arrive.

Noooooooooooooooooo!
If your PC even turns on (which I doubt) you will fry the CPU almost instantly.
Let me explain ... on modern PC's, during the POST (Power On Self Test) the presence of a CPU fan is checked. If no CPU fan is detected, the PC simply refuses to start. Period. End of fun.
If you have a CPU fan plugged in but no heatsink fitted to the CPU - the CPU will overheat right away. End of fun and start of more expense.
So - why the gamble? Just get it right and fit what's required.
HTH, Ray
