filling holes in with copper wire (threaded) should I use TIM

[terramir]

Well I'm going to be using two of these together with a self-made black acrylic top to create two blocks to water-cool the TEC's from my freezone instead of the heat sink. Anyway these are bottoms of TC-4 CPU coolers

Now the bigger holes were used for the mounting hardware, but now they would be empty space where my tec's wouldn't be cooled, so I'm going to use a tap wrench and die and thread the holes and 4- gauge copper wire so I can fill the holes in. Now my question is should I put a little arctic silver on the threads so it will help fill in the gaps or is hammering the wire once it's in a cut off on both sides enough to ensure even heat transfer?

I would think that the use of TIM, or even a thermal adhesive like Arctic Lumina couldn't possibly hurt your cause.
