Publication number: 20070287324Abstract: A water block includes a first casing, a solder paste, and a second casing. The first casing has a solder reserve area formed on an outer edge thereof. The solder paste is coated on the solder reserve area. The second casing is jointed with the first casing via the solder past to form a channel space. The present invention uses tin solder as a soldering material, so that the soldering temperature is between 200° C. and 400° C. Hence, the present invention avoids oxygenation and weakened bond strength due to high temperatures. Therefore, when the solder paste melts, the flux separates from the tin solder and bubbles of the tin solder are removed from the solder reserve area at a soldering temperature of between 200˜400° C. Moreover, the bond strength of the joint surface between two casings is increased, so cooling liquids won't easily leak out from the strong joint surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2007Publication date: December 13, 2007Inventors: Phon-Quan Lee, Chia-Chun Cheng
