Kind of a noob question but I've bought the LT240 and i'm going to buy the Tygon R6010 hose with EK cryofuel clear.
Problem is that i don't know the quantities. 1 meter hose enough or better to order 2 meters?
How many liters of the coolant?

2 Meters to be safe (tubing are pretty cheap, and especially at the beginning is nice to have a safe margin)
1L of coolant is enough, in a full T1 loop without reservoir you can put till 350ml.
Buy 1L of distilled water to clean before properly the radiator.

I see some of you are discussing tubing, just wanted to get my 2 cents out there.
Since fabio said that 16/10 ZMT is a bit too thick for this cramped space, I wanted the same maintenance advantages and that matte look so I found watercool.de sells EPDM tubing in 13/10.
Figured it'd be a slight improvement in flow over the 8mm ID of these other tubes.
I have to report that this tubing smells horrendous and it's a bit shinier than ZMT.
I washed the tubing with soap and water and let it vent outside for days and it didn't help at all.
I'm not sure if larger inner diameter helps the temps at all, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd go with Alphacool's TPV or EK's ZMT.

Update 2020-06-09: I want to make make the C13 to C14 angle power supply cable 30mm or 1.25in longer, if any objections, let me me know asap!

Fine for me, sometimes I’ve missed a bit of more length on the PSU cable.
There is also the chance to have a shorter tail for the c14 plug?
No problem with cable length in my current configuration, but 30mm longer shouldn’t be an issue either.
I’ve never found myself needing more length for that cable in my build iterations, but I don’t see how this change could hurt anything either.
I'm look into it, but unlikely, it's already lowest to the limit by current OEM.
I didn't feel the need for a longer cable so far, I even felt mine could have been a bit shorter, but I think a 3cm longer one could still get hidden for a clean look, so that should work, too.
Sorry to hear about the smelly tubing :/ Also, tubing ID does not affect flow because your fittings (or the inlets/outlets they’re fit to) constrict the flow regardless.
Corsair LPX is gonna give you the least amount of clearance issues depending if you have it in the 2 or 3 slot config. Plenty of people have used Trident Z. You just have to route the tubes around the ram if you’re in the 3 slot config.
I really like crucial ballistix sport lt ram. It's what I have and I've had a much better time overclocking it vs the corsair. I also thing its a hair shorter than the corsair as well so that's another plus.
Sorry if I am being redundant, I did a search about this but couldnt find an answer. Is the Alphacool LT240 still supported in full? I thought I remember hearing it was no longer supported, however a few days ago people were saying they were purchasing the AIO for their T1s. Are most people using just the rad to build a custom loop around it?
I already own a LT240, am I in the clear or should I get an EK AIO if I dont want to mess around with a custom loop? Had bad prior experiences with a loop I made frying a GPU, so im not too interested with ripping mine apart, however am an experienced builder.

Not sure if it's officially supported but it does fit with at least one slim fan (and one normal fan). It's recommended to change the tubing because there was a problem with plasticers of the original pvc tubes resulting in clogged pumps.
Since it's a used pump i'd advice you to take it apart for inspection.

Like Pkawa said, but I'd also like to point out I just ordered an EK AIO 240 and they have a promo with free shipping that ends pretty soon if you're interested at all in getting one. It saved me 40 bucks
Besides the points already mentioned (change tubing, fans), the "official" stance is it is supported in 2 slot GPU mode without modification, and in 3 slot GPU mode only without the quick disconnects, which will mean redoing the tubing, which is just so close to custom loop already.
