It's not that fans are not needed. It is that fans in a vacuum are useless.Waste heat has to be conducted away, then radiated. Radiation is very inefficient at temperatures that CPUs can tolerate. Keeping CPUs in space cool is way more involved than keeping them out of the Sun, which isn't a problem anyway, because the box they are in does that.
