After filling those gaps, you can go ahead and apply paste as you would with a flat-based heatsink.
If you don't do this, then you'll continue to get bad temps like this. Your temps are safe, but they should be maxing out in the 50s with your overclock and core voltage.

I did exactly that. My temperatures are low compared to others but his temperatures are just out of this world.
