Yes, you should have a coldplate between the pelt and the chip. It absorbs the heat better than just having the pelt directly on the CPU.

the surface of the pelt is ceramic, so it does not spread heat at all well. the copper coldplate spreads the heat from the small core to a larger area, to be removed by the larger surface area pelt more effectively.
