Old x1600pro - Can I run without thermal pads

I have an old X1600 pro going into a "browsing machine", no gaming just browsing, unfortunately the heatsink was off and the thermal pads have been removed.

I re-applied some TIM on the GPU which has great contact but the TIM will not reach the heatsink on the VRAM modules there is a 2mm gap, as this is not going to be put through its paces, would it be ok to run the card without thermal pads on the Vram?

Cheers
