Is there any way I can heat up my CPU and see if the heatsink works?

Use a benchmark program such as 3DMark or a “burn-in” utility such as Prime95. If you want to have your CPU do something more productive while under a heavy load, use a distributed program like BOINC or Folding@home to have the CPU cycles put towards calculating things for finding cures to diseases, searching for extra-terrestrials, etc. To keep an eye on the temps, use a monitoring program like SpeedFan. | |||||||||||

If you can read this answer, it probably works. If you want to see how good it works, use software like Core Temp (°C) and Prime95 (stability test). It's important that you monitor the temperature, you don't want to damage your equipment...
