3 Inch Fan Grill / Finger Guard Metal 80mm

Description

The 3" (80mm) Metal Cooling Fan Grill is an essential safety and cable-management accessory for any project involving high-speed cooling fans. Designed to fit standard 80x80mm axial fans (commonly referred to as 3-inch fans), this metal finger guard prevents loose wires, cables, and fingers from accidentally coming into contact with fast-spinning fan blades.

Unlike restrictive plastic meshes or punched-metal covers, this grill features a concentric wire ring design. This aerodynamic construction ensures maximum airflow and minimal noise turbulence, allowing your cooling system to run at peak efficiency while maintaining strict safety standards. It is a must-have for custom PC builds, 3D printer enclosures, and DIY electronic power supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will this fit my fan exactly?
A: If you have a standard 80mm x 80mm (often referred to as 3-inch) cooling fan, this grill is designed to align perfectly with the four mounting holes on the corners of the fan frame.

Q: Does this grill reduce airflow or make the fan louder?
A: Because it is made of thin, rounded metal wire rather than a flat sheet with holes punched out, it creates very little aerodynamic resistance. It will not noticeably reduce airflow or increase noise.

Q: Does it come with mounting screws?
A: No, this listing is for the grill only. You can easily install it using the existing screws that came with your cooling fan.
