GardTec SC40-W2 40mm wire form fan guard is designed for 40mm cooling fans. The smooth rounded edges maintain quiet fan operation while preserving maximum (CFM) airflow efficiency. When heat dissipation, noise and airflow are critical design elements, the SC40-W2 design allows for 23-30% greater airflow, heat removal and substantially less objectionable noise than even the optimum sheetmetal guard. The GardTec SC40-W2 is a 4 position, 40 mm., 2 ring nickel plated chrome fan guard.
- Works well for laptops and small electronics

The dimensions between a cooling fan and its fan guard need to be the same. Among the advantages of using a wire form cooling fan guard are a greater lifespan and less energy consumption. A fan with airflow that is impeded will only have to work harder to keep temperatures down. Therefore it is imperative that the fan guard chosen keeps the airflow at the best rate possible. Please note that the intended unit should be shut down and unplugged before mounting the fan system.
