If you are going to attach a CPU HSF I would maybe
consider a 55Watt Peltier!
You would get much better temps than just having only a big
HSF!

I would use plastic cable straps and maybe some thermal
tape or epoxy. If you want to use artic silver - apply a thicker
layer to the GPU and use straps to hold the beast down!
I say use plasic straps because if you do not, all the weight
of the HSF will be on the GPU/You dont want the GPU to fall
off! :D

artic silver epoxy should hold anything, i stuck a fop32 on my geforce 2 mx with artic silver and superglue in the corners, i might get a icile cooler for my cpu soon, there is one that is 40x40 copper and made for 1GHz atherlons
