It's about the same.

Hey, I was looking and can’t find anywhere what the clearance is. I have found that the clearance of the Dark Rock Pro 4 is 40,5mm. Is it the same for the non pro version?

I'm pretty sure the Dark Rock Pro 4 is much bigger than the Dark rock 4. Just by looking at the cooler itself I think it would be more closer to the same size as the cooler master hyper 212 (granted it maybe be a little wider than the 212) There will be more ram clearance than the pro 4.

I asked my friend "So how many things do you have rgb so far?" He responded, "The only things that I have RGB is my GPU, CPU cooler, Keyboard, Mouse, Mousepad, Laptop, Ram, Motherboard, SSD, case fans, PSU, cheapo-RGB leds, razer phone 2 and "

For fan, yes. But DRP4 fins overhang first RAM slot where DR4 doesn't. I'm in shock that you didn't note that o.O

I was just referring to the clearance below the bottom fin since 40.5mm was quoted. The DRP4 cutout above the first ram slot allows ram up to 45-46mm. For 40mm of clearance below the fan on the DR4, the cooler also ends up being ~170mm tall.

I glossed over the fan being able to be mounted on the other side in pull and that the DR4 heatsink not even hanging over ram. I think it's due to having seen so many people deciding to not use the closest ram slot to fit the front fan on the DR3 and DR4.
