A card guide which optimizes the flow of forced cooling air, provides for se lf alignment to a host motherboard and provides for integrated electro-static discharge (ESD) hazard mitigation, includes an elongated body having a groove disposed along a longitudinal axis of the body. The groove is adapted for receiving the edge of an inserted daughters card. The card guide further includes integral, arcuate inner and outer deflectors, which form a channel for redirecting incident air flow toward regions of the daughter card which would otherwise be blocked from the air flow. Extension deflector assemblies may be situated between card guides to extend the inner and outer deflectors so as to minimize air flow discontinuities in regions betwe en daughter card positions. The end of the card guide that receives the daughter card houses an ESD clip.
