The cpu throttles when it gets too hot. Won't cause damage to not have it, but will slow it down.

Right, that chip could never run at 100% CPU load for more than a fraction of a minute; after that it starts slowing the clock. Seems to me like it was meant to run with a heatsink on.

Either that or it was meant for outdoors operation in arctic regions.
