There is plenty of scientific literature on the topic of cooling hot materials in space. Moreover, the research is not finished -- it will continue to progress. I surveyed the current works, and put together a video to communicate the salient points:

To have an equivalent capacity of DCs in space would require such astronomical costs there is 0 chance it would be profitable esp considering how fast GPUs deprecate
How about we start with actually finishing all the datacenters we've started (many if not most are unstarted, paused or outright cancelled)?
Where would the heat go?
Into other surrounding materials. Of which there are none, in a vacuum.
