Abstract

A water cooling system includes a water block, a heat radiator, a pump, a circulating conduit and a water storage assembly. The pump is disposed between the water block and the heat radiator. The circulating conduit communicates with the water block, the heat radiator and the pump. The water storage assembly is configured to be a part of an integrated element. The integrated element includes one of the water block, the heat radiator and the pump. The water storage assembly includes a liquid storage chamber and a liquid guide. The liquid storage chamber has an inner wall. An end of the liquid guide has a protrusive tube end reaching to the liquid storage chamber. The protrusive tube end protrudes from the inner wall. An angular space is formed between the protrusive tube end and the inner wall.

Claims (19)
