Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I received an E0 8500 from NewEgg a couple weeks back.
Not all 8500 are E0, but it seems NewEgg is phasing the C0/C1 out, and you are likely to get an E0. Mine shipped from CA, and I live on the east coast.
