Speculating on the current conditions of defunct probes.

Btw, a purpose for the otherwise useless Moon.

The Moon ground is rich of titanium.
The titanium is what is required for the Venus.
Ergo, the purpose of the Moon is titanization of Venus with metal structures, and providing water for the Martian hydrolox ships.

One concept I had for limited-life  cooling and power generation on a Venusian probe was to start with an ice (water, oxygen, nitrogen , hydrogen?) heat sink. As it boils away, use the escaping gas to spin a turbogenerator. Perhaps some form of thermocouple insulation could provide extra power while soaking up some of that Venusian heat?

Is there any sort of refrigeration tech that would be able to reject enough heat on the Venusian surface  to keep the insides tolerable for the aforementioned hi-temp electronics, given enough power like the aforementioned wind turbines??

It would be extremly hard to make as you has to have an hot side much hotter than Venus so it can get rid of heat. You would very probably do this in two stages, and you have to cool the heat generated by the refrigeration, but you could probably make an motor who could run at Venus temperature. 

Having ice would be perfect, it melt to water who then become steam who is vented.
