They do nothing for heat transfer, really.
If things are too restrictive without them, wouldnt it be better to use a thicker copper baseplate with deeper holes? IT just strikes me as strange.
I don't know if it would increase performance, but i would put some AS3 Thermal Adhesive between the top and bottom pins to help heat transfer between them. It SHOULD make the top pins help out to cool the bottom pins, at least a bit.
Well its just a thought anyway, i don't know if it works irl (ie. the thermal adhesive dissolves in the warm water).
