How well do the noise reduction foams work? I generally read that they don't really help much with pc cases. I would think the front plastic panel would be the weak point noise wise and it'd be a shame to cover it up. That's why I use the Noctua DH15 and 140mm Noctua fans.

Personally I wouldn't use the foam on it's own. I'd treat it like in automotive industry: Dynamat on bare surface, foam over top. I wouldn't apply this to any visible surface, just to those that are hidden. Surfaces will carry the vibration regardless of it's source, so it's helpful to treat any surface you can. The only downside I see is more insulation, but the case has great airflow, so shouldn't pose a serious issue. Probably overkill, but why not go all out if I already have it! Also, I don't use dynamat, only said it since most are familiar with the name. there are cheaper thinner and better solutions out there. I like http://www.raamaudio.com/
 
If you decide on foam as well, make sure it's ensolite or any other form of closed-cell foam. Open-cell foam is pointless.
 
Another quick solution is felt tape. fixes rattles quick, is very thin and barely visible.

I think that was the point of Jacob's last post. He said that all the cases would ship in the next 1-2 weeks, so that's technically a warning. He also said that he would update us as they get closer to shipping. So, if you've got the money, I would just move it into your paypal and let it sit there until they charge it.

What about BitPheonix's silent version the spectre i think they are called? Custom colour 2. where i was looking.  Also is there any new info on when these are shipping... its August and we still know nothing on shipping costs * northern ireland in my case *  finding it a tad frustrating to be honest..

Does specify the case has built in raised stands for motherboard.

Yet the results of the build is disturbing ! The gpu temps reached 80 because of firmware issues making the exhaust fans stop. (Evga claims to fix this in final production model) and the noise level of the case is super high compared to others ...

To market a case as one with great air flow you would think noise would be the issue but on the other end the gpu sits a bit away from the rear which the reviewer claims is a issue for blower model graphics cards and overall temp results are worse than some of the other cases in the benchmarks .

Overall most insightful review however one I doubt Evga would have shared on their own due to the results not being favorable

@jacob I believe sound damping material would be a great addition to the final product

This is a bit disappointing, I was hoping this case would be quiet.

Didn't they use a passive CPU cooler in that build on an older high wattage processor?

Edit: I see they used a single fan CPU cooler. I'm not sure how reliable their results were. GPU Temps do reach 80 when using the stock fan settings. Anyone on this forum would set a more aggressive curve.

they used a be quiet! Dark Rock 3 which is equal to say a cryorig or evo air cooler which is I believe a little better at cooling than stock. however the cpu is was a older generation model Intel Core i5-3570K still viable in todays gaming world they did have it clocked to 4.4ghz so heat could have made the fans raise a bit. Being a prototype model I can understand the build issues in the test model.
 
most air coolers run extremely quiet ! I have a Cryorig h7 on a i7 6700k I used the gigabyte software to OC my cpu to 4.6ghz CAM showed my temps at 56-59 under load with the fan remaining quiet . I have a H110i gtx still boxed waiting on my DG-86 to come in however I fear the dual corsair fans on the cooler will make more noise than my Cryorig
 

This is box of DG-87 from German Youtube clip
 

 
I keep box of my case, because inside could stay bunch of boxed of other hardware.
Motherboards, graphic cards, coolers, keyboards,....

If you look under: Support -> Product Manuals -> EVGA Cases -> EVGA DG-8, on page 7 it says, "... control hub in the case which supports 6 3pin fans" 

So unfortunately it looks like it wont be supporting PWM fans
