If i'm getting a case with 165mm clearance for cpu cooler, can i get a 165mm cpu cooler or am i supposed to leave some space there?
 
Solution
You dont need to leave space, except for vibration isolation. Easy ways to counteract that.

Also, in my experience, most advertised CPU clearances are a couple mm conservative.
