YES!

And the pelt is not the same size as the core. The pelt is roughly the same size as the chip package, but the core is much smaller.

You NEED to spread the heat from the core to the whole of the pelt.

On top of that, you need to clamp a pelt MUCH more tightly than you need to clamp the assembly to the core. This can only be done using a separate coldplate.
