I think cooling in a chip vs cooling in space are two orthogonal problems. In a chip, the problem is getting the heat to the heatsink where it can be efficiently dissipated into the much larger heatsink of the surrounding environment. In space, the problem is that the only way to dissipate heat is thermal radiation because you're in a vacuum.

Well, besides ejecting the heat as propellent (probably water?).

Thermal radiation is probably the best way, propellent runs out eventually.
