a cold plate disposed on the second surface of the water cooling radiator,
wherein the water cooling radiator further comprises:
a first water tank;
a second water tank;
a third water tank;
a plurality of heat radiating fins disposed between the first water tank, the second water tank and the third water tank;
a plurality of water flow paths passing through in the heat radiating fins; and
at least one cooling fan disposed on the first surface or the second surface of the water cooling radiator, and located adjacent to the first pump.

2. The liquid cooling device of claim 1 , further comprising a second pump, wherein the first pump is fixed and communicated with the first water tank and the second pump is fixed and communicated with the second water tank.

3. The liquid cooling device of claim 2 , further comprising:
a first cooling fan disposed on the first surface or the second surface of the water cooling radiator, and located adjacent to the first pump; and
a second cooling fan disposed on the first surface or the second surface of the water cooling radiator, and located adjacent to the second pump.

4. The liquid cooling device of claim 3 , wherein the first pump and the first cooling fan are disposed on the first surface of the water cooling radiator, and the second pump and the second cooling fan are also disposed on the first surface of the water cooling radiator.

5. The liquid cooling device of claim 3 , wherein the first pump and the first cooling fan are disposed on the second surface of the water cooling radiator, and the second pump and the second cooling fan are also disposed on the second surface of the water cooling radiator.

6. The liquid cooling device of claim 3 , wherein the first pump and the first cooling fan are disposed on the second surface of the water cooling radiator, and the second pump and the second cooling fan are disposed on the first surface of the water cooling radiator.

7. The liquid cooling device of claim 6 , wherein two ends of the water cooling radiator comprises a step.

8. The liquid cooling device of claim 3 , further comprising a third pump fixed and communicated with the third water tank.

9. The liquid cooling device of claim 8 , wherein the first pump, the first cooling fan, the second pump, the second cooling fan and the third pump are all disposed on the first surface of the water cooling radiator, and the first cooling fan is located between the first pump and the third pump, and the second cooling fan is located between the second pump and the third pump.

10. The liquid cooling device of claim 1 , wherein the first pump is fixed and communicated with the third water tank.

11. The liquid cooling device of claim 10 , wherein the third water tank comprises:
a first partition plate; and
a second partition plate, wherein the second partition plate and the first partition plate separate the third water tank into three areas, wherein a first water inlet and a first water outlet of the cold plate are respectively connected to two corresponding areas of the three areas, and another area of the three areas is connected to the first pump and disconnected from the cold plate.

12. The liquid cooling device of claim 10 , wherein the first pump is disposed on the first surface of the water cooling radiator, and located between a first cooling fan and a second cooling fan.

13. The liquid cooling device of claim 1 , wherein the heat radiating fins comprise:
a plurality of first heat radiating fins;
a plurality of second heat radiating fins; and
a plurality of third heat radiating fins, wherein the second heat radiating fins are formed between the first heat radiating fins and the third heat radiating fins, and the first heat radiating fins, the second heat radiating fins and the third heat radiating fins have different intervals.

14. The liquid cooling device of claim 13 , wherein an interval of the first heat radiating fins is smaller than an interval of the second heat radiating fins, and the interval of the second heat radiating fins is smaller than an interval of the third heat radiating fins.

15. The liquid cooling device of claim 1 , wherein the cold plate is connected to the third water tank.

16. The liquid cooling device of claim 15 , wherein the third water tank comprises a first partition plate to separate the third water tank into two areas.

17. The liquid cooling device of claim 16 , wherein the cold plate comprises:
a first chamber comprising a first water inlet and a first water outlet, wherein the first water inlet and the first water outlet are respectively connected to corresponding areas of the two areas of the third water tank; and
first skived fins disposed in the first chamber, and located between the first water inlet and the first water outlet.

18. The liquid cooling device of claim 17 , wherein the third water tank further comprises a second partition plate, and the second partition plate and the first partition plate are formed a cross partition plate to separate the third water tank into four areas.

19. The liquid cooling device of claim 18 , wherein the cold plate further comprises:
a second chamber comprising a second water inlet and a second water outlet, wherein the first water inlet, the first water outlet, the second water inlet and the second water outlet are respectively connected to corresponding areas of the four areas of the third water tank;
a chamber partition plate formed between the first chamber and the second chamber to isolate the first chamber and the second chamber; and
second skived fins disposed in the second chamber, and located between the second water inlet and the second water outlet.
