The Gorb will kill two or three PCI slots.  I read one place where
someone carefully trimmed the top of the Gorb down and reinstalled the
fan, I think they got it down to only killing one PCI slot...
definitely better than other solutions.
Yes, even trimmed, the Gorb will cool better than the Tennmax BGA
cooler.

For mounting, the BEST (and most expensive) way to do it is to use
thermal epoxy.  Second best way it to CAREFULLY apply a thin layer of
thermal compound to the center of the GPU, then use four SMALL spots
of superglue on the corners of the GPU... I wouldn't trust it, but it
has been reported to work well.
The other way is to put a piece of square copper tube (or "c" channel)
across the top of the Gorb and mount it with tie-wraps through the
original mounting holes in the card.
