Radiative heat transfer exists in space. In fact, it works quite well for cooling as long as you’re in the shade.
It exists, but "works quite well" is only for a small amount of heat. It takes a big radiator to get rid of heat to ax vacuum. Much easier and cheaper to just keep the computers on earth and cool them with standard air or liquid cooling setups.
