The base seat 50 is arranged on the bottom seat 10. In detail, the bottom seat 10 is fixed to the base seat 50 by a plurality of screws A passed through the bottom seat 10 and screwed to a bottom of the base seat 50, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. The base seat 50 defines an inlet 51 and an outlet 52. The inlet 51 and the outlet 52 are respectively connected to an infusion tube B to connect a liquid-cooling radiator (not shown in figures) such that the coolant may flow from the liquid cooling heat dissipation device to the liquid-cooling radiator to further dissipate heat energy and form a cycle loop. The base seat 50, the bottom seat 10, and the cover 30 together form an inlet chamber 53. The base seat 50 and the cover 30 together form an outlet chamber 54. The inlet 51 is communicated to each of the flow channels 111 through the inlet chamber 53. The through hole 32 is communicated to the outlet 52 through the outlet chamber 54. Therefore, after the coolant enters the inlet chamber 53 from the inlet 51, the coolant enters each of the flow channels 111 to sequentially pass through each of the slot groups 21 and the slit group 41, the coolant then enters the outlet chamber 54 through the through hole 32 after entering the chamber 311 for confluence, and the coolant finally exits the liquid cooling heat dissipation device from the outlet 52.
