Recommendation on how to make diablo 4 run cooler on M1 Max?
You can make device cooler by manually turning on the fan and tinkering with the RPM of fan to make it run cooler when running games. Macboook by default does not turn on the Fans until its over 90 degree. You can use this free Fan control software. I have been using it and my mac runs cooler when gaming and such. https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control

Is it time for a new computer or are my issues fixable?
Knowing how one might reproduce an issue doesn’t mean the cause is failing hardware. Apple Diagnostics may be able to tell you more, and Macs Fan Control can tell you if the fans are in working order and you can make them spin faster if you want.

Would a refurbished 2017 MacBook Pro be any good for video editing today? (Premiere/DaVinci)
However if do have your heart set on the macbook make sure they have at least cleaned it out and repasted the CPU. It should take care of the overheating problem some what you can use like Mac's fan control to get a bit more cooling out of it https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control It's what I use on my 2012 mac book bro which is way older.

ELI5: Why do computers get so enragingly slow after just a few years?
iMacs are sensitive and unusable if the room/environment temperature goes up 1-2 degrees. Once an iMac reaches temperatures that exceed its cooling capabilities, it will reduce the Scheduler Limit. This OS protection slows your computer down to a % of its actual performance. It's designed to reduce load down to a level that the computer can cope with, given its temperature situation. A tool called Hot will reveal the current scheduler limit, and you'll be able to verify this is the problem.
