So i built a portable little moster to take with me when I go over the road (I'm a long haul semi truck driver)

Ryzen 9 3900x 

Rtx 2080 ti 

Yada yada

But the issue is trying to keep my cpu cool enough my buddy and I like to play GTA online but my cpu keeps hitting 83°-87°c and I feel that is too hot, I don't notice any performance loss but id like to keep this little chip as long as I can. So I have considered that there may not be enough air flow but I cant put anymore fans inside,(it's the tiny case linus used for his divorced parents build and i have 4 fans inside excluding the gpu and cpu coolers) so I've come to the conclusion of water cooling. ( I plan to do case mods to have the rad outside of the case) but my only concern is while I'm driving every now and then I hit a nasty bump and I have no idea I how well the tubes would withstand the bumps. So I'd there is any product I should check out or if standard fittings would be fine i would love some input. Or if I should try to find a better air cooler than the stock wrath prism cooler.

And ignore the rats nest of cables, the sfx power supply i got gave me cables too short to really route and manage properly. I plan after the cooling issue is solved to buy some custom cables so I can have the case more presentable.

Since that is a pretty compact build and having a downdraft GPU it will cause it to heat up the surroundings quite a bit. I would look into getting something like an AIO which will be able to carry the heat out more easily if you have a 120mm rear mounted unit or if you can fit in a 240 to front mount. Bumps shouldn't be an issue with an AIO as the mass is really all placed in the rad and mounted firmly to the chassis, heavy and large tower coolers are usually not the best for that applicaiton. 

 

Also since you will be running this in truck be sure your inverter for your vehicle is ideally a pure sinewave inverter or at the very least a stepped approximated unit as some power supplies while not very commonly can reject less than ideal power input.

If you're set on a custom loop, soft tubing, mount radiators and pump/res securely.

You could try to undervolt a bit before doing anything with the cooling.  As I've understand so far, ryzen chip out of the box have a tendency to run on a bit high voltage on certain motherboard.  Maybe check your voltage and see if it could be undervolt without creating any performance issue.

I'm fairly new to clocking computers and what not so im not quite sure what to look for, I have a x570-i asus ROG motherboard.
