ISS is not comparable, we don't have to keep GPUs in human-habitable temp ranges, and radiation speed goes way up with increased temps.

  The difference in cooling rate between 290K and 370K isn't as large as you think.

    About 2.6x? Making a radiator >60% smaller is a pretty big diff.

      60% smaller than 'orders of magnitude way too bloody big to ever make a lick of sense' is still 'orders of magnitude too bloody big'. You know what makes an even bigger difference? Having a planet-sized place to dump all your waste heat into.

        Do you think the radiator will need to be bigger than the solar panels?
