I have the asus maximise vii hero with 1150 cpu socket. I will be using two sticks of corsair dominator platinum ram. And I will be using the cooler master hyper 212 evo.

Will the cpu cooler work with the ram on this mobo?

You should be ok with this config.
First of all, it`s recommended to use the slots further away from the CPU socket (2 and 4), which should move the RAM away from the cooler fan.
Second option is to raise a bit the fan so that it doesn`t touch the RAM (shouldn`t anyway if you use slots 2 and 4).
Third option is to move the fan on the other side of the heatsink, making it a pull action, which removed the fan from the side of the RAM, and completely avoids any issue.

The temp difference to making the fan a pull in stead of push should be minimal.
