no thermal glue on processor

[tesco]

You can do a burn-in at any speed though...
The point is just to see if it's stable.

Since there is no hard and fast definition of the term "burn in", I suppose you're right...but what would be the point?
"Here you go sir, we tested your PC for 48 hours in Hibernation Mode and it worked fine".

The point is it didn't crash when burning-in without a heat sink.

i too believed no chip after 486 can run normaly for long time without sink. and that modern ones won't last 24s let alone 24h.
googling proved me wrong:

The processor I am talking about, the E2140 (1.6Ghz)is a cousin of the E4400 (2Ghz). The E2140 runs at a lower clock speed and much cooler. Yes, doing this kind of shit will damage not only the processor but also the motherboard. The test I saw was on an Oc'ing forum to prove the point of just how cool the new Intels ran. It really is amazing.
