"Over clocked the cpu by raising voltage to 1.5 "
If you didn't pick up on what these guys have said, 1.5 vcore is way too high for 3.6GHz.
I've read a number of posts that said they got to 3.6GHz at default vcore or just a little voltage bump up! (under 1.3v on vcore)
This is way too much voltage for that clock speed..
Here's an example where someone was able to do 3.6GHz with just 1.26250 vcore.
If you do this right, you shouldn't have to "Muscle" the E8400 to higher speeds...
The E8400 is one of the easiest CPU's you can OC.
