H9 Flow:

 

DRP4:

 

It should clear. 165mm of clearance, the DRP4 is 160mm off the socket, leaves 5mm of leeway.

But is this calculating in the like size of the motherboard or is this from case side to side, if you know what i mean

its calculating in the motherboard as a standard.

You have 5.6mm clearance to the front panel with the cooler attached to the motherboard.

Usually they underestimate for safety margins so you should end up with more than that.

You are good to go

Motherboard to case, within reasonable tolerances as @Hinjima noted, as some socket/CPU packages are taller or shorter than others by a few millimeters (and this will raise and lower the cooler). They say it has clearance for a 165mm tower, this is with the motherboard installed on the included standoffs (important note as some standoffs are taller than others by another couple millimeters). The actual distance between the side panel and motherboard tray will be greater.
