ARC isn't known for making crap. I would imagine that it works just fine.
Here is some info on it:

It looks like a simple stick on heat-sink. No different than the fins on your amplifier. Probably will work if large enough but who knows HOW GOOD.

It was in a Magazine last month. Supposely wind travel over the fins and cause the temp to decrease.

Check out the mesh/insulation material at a local home depot. Save a couple of bucks.

HIGHLY doubt it. Maybe under certain limited circumstances.

I think 10 degrees Celcius is 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

68 F is 20 C

The only way I see this product living up to the claim, is to further investigate the 3M material and the heat transfer of that. If the adhesive is a foam base it might actually act as a insulation unit? Its going to get warm no doubt, but i doubt it will ever get as warm as the surface its on.

Looks like the same mesh they use in their intercoolers.
