In this case, I'd just ask if the person has followed the sticky rather than assume that they haven't because they didn't mention it.
To the OP: I found myself with a completely unclockable E6300 and it turned out to be the RAM, which was Geil PC6400C4 too. Assuming that you have got everything else set up fine (voltages, memory timings and you're happy that you aren't simply overheating due to poor airflow or a bad heatsink fit), I would try a couple of runs with just one of your RAM modules in at a time. If you suddenly find that you can clock up much further then you've found your problem.
I agree that a genuine case is a genuine case, but there are a lot of lazy posts - like one I answered this morning about where to find the revision number on a P5N32-E SLi. It took me 2 minutes with Google to find a hi-res picture of the motherboard and then about 10 seconds to spec the revision number. So I reckon the guy was most likely too lazy to look. I still answered it, but it was daft.
