G6-720 - case cooling - Is there a front pusher fan?

Hey guys.  

 I've looked at pictures of the case design and airflow of the Predator G6, it looks like it pulls air through "ice tunnels" to keep it cool.      I've only found a rear case fan. 

 I'm looking to get more airflow into the blower style founders edition 1080ti.  Is there a front pusher fan that I'm not seeing or is the negative pressure in the case only generated by the rear puller fan that pulls air into the "ice tunnels". ?

    I see just the rear fan.

    I have the G6-710 I am looking for a front pusher fan. I am going to Mem Express to see what size they have if they have a tiny one. Because the GPU is facing the bottom of the Case, there is a higher temp then usual. I am also looking at possible putting a intake at the bottom of the Case, that would increase the airflow to the GPU.

    I am assuming that the TI has the same case as the 710. The dimensions I feel that could work is either a 120mm or small. but to put it inside it may take a 40mm fan.

    If you go the 40mm route, look at server fans. The fans in my Dell servers can move a lot of air through their 40mm...

    this is a 80mm fan works well.

    Hmm.  Where is the air coming from with the front mounted fan?  I see some holes but I believe there is just plastic in front of it with no easy path for airflow to be pulled into the case.

    The fan is a pusher, so creates positive pressure behind the front plastic. The air then leaks out the edges and such. Although it won't add as much air flow as if it wasn't restricted, it does help the puller on the other side move more air in total.

    There are holes on the front ferring, but since they are so far away from the front of the physical case there is not enough airflow to allow sufficient cooling. I have noticed a significant drop in my CPU temps and my GPU temps.
