Cooling fans will only work with fan guards of a corresponding size. Using a fan guard has benefits such as a reduction in the fan's energy consumption and a longer lifespan. They also have an impact on the collection of dirt inside the fan, which in turn effects the amount of airflow. A fan guard should always be used with the cooling fan. The electronic device needs to be turned off and unplugged before implementing a new cooling fan system.
