Black Heatsink/CPU Cooler

I'm looking for a black heatsink/CPU cooler that I might be able to use some non-stock fans with.

 

The build I'm planning is going to have an orange and black color scheme to it. I was thinking about the black version of the Phanteks PH-TC14PE, but after some research, I'm not sure if I can mount some 140mm Cougar Vortex fans onto it due to the clip design fastening the fans to the heatsink. I would've gone the Be Quiet! route, but a lot of the Dark Rock fans seem to be losing availability in the US.

 

As far as the cpu, I'm planning on getting an i5-6600K for gaming use and If I do at all, I might apply a light overclock to it.

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: If anyone would like to look and add input, I'll add the link to my planned build on pcpartpicker: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/CtjLPs

I have a dark rock 3 and I must admit it looks really good. But, availability isn't very good like you said and installation can be very difficult to do alone. Performance is excellent though.

cryorig r1 ultimate? the stock fans have 120mm mounting holes though, so i dont know how well aftermarket fans would mount to it. however, you could keep the stock fans and swap the cover on it for orange.

Looking at the Cryorig R1. Seems like a really good deal to order it from a site like Amazon with the stock black cover for it and order the orange cover separate. Makes it easy so that if I happen to not like the extra orange cover, I can always go back to the black cover.

 

Good deal. Thanks DrM!
