Most CPU fans I've seen come with a pad of conductive [something] which
goes between the processor and the heatsink. I would think that something
like this would be essential, given that the surfaces are probably not
perfectly flat (on a nano scale).

This is why I always put heatsink goop on the chip, without it the
heatsink/fan doesn't do much. The problems you can get
