I don't know exactly what a realistic answer would be, but just for an order of magnitude, from physics, if we assume that the CPUs have a maximum temperature around 80 C, that's around 350 K. If we imagine the radiator is around that temperature then if it were 100% emissive it would radiate about 850 W/m^2. Using some random value found online for typical server power consumption of 10 kW for a fully populated rack, that would work out to ~11 m^2 of radiator per rack's worth of computing. But, again, that's just an order of magnitude, and entails a number of questionable assumptions.
