Games stuttering then wifi crashes on pop_os (self.linux_gaming)

I'm a new Linux user, mainly using it for gaming. Loving it so far but, after playing games for about an hour the game and audio will stutter. Immediately after my wifi disconnects and has trouble or is unable to reconnect, sometimes the wifi adapter is unavailable until I reboot. I'm hoping there is a software fix and I didn't get a bum mother board.

Honestly, it sounds like it might be overheating. Have you checked temperatures when it happens?

Turned out to be an overheating issue. Tweaking the fans has everything running smoothly so far. Thanks everybody.

...and I didn't get a bum mother board.

Is this a new build? What do your temperatures look like?

See anything interesting in dmesg after all that starts happening?
