What settings are you changing in your Bios to get the 3600mhz.
Thats a very capable mobo, I had an E8400 in it and 4000mhz was VERY easy

Sounds like it. Make sure you're getting enough voltage to the FSB as well as the CPU. That board overclocks best when you can input as many of the settings in BIOS and leave as little as possible on Auto. I would look for settings other people have posted online and try those.

If 3.8GHz wasn't stable, I wouldn't expect 4.0GHz to be any closer. Please list your voltages (not just vcore).

Those are the only values I upped when I OCed a Q9550 on the same board, you shouldn't be having such a hard time. Is your ram voltage at the recommended level?
What brand is your PSU?

Those voltages were for 3.8GHz. The MCH Core and possibly vcore will need to be a little higher for 4.0GHz.
Try increasing the MCH Core to 1.24v-1.26v and see if that helps. If not, it is more then likely the CPU itself that is holding you back.

Your VTT needs to be higher... I know when I was able to hit 3.825GHz I had to push over 1.3V VTT(FSB Voltage). Try increasing the VTT slowly until it's stable. I would think the most you'll need is 1.30 - 1.32, but see if a lower voltage will work first. PLL is fine, NB may need to be a little higher, 1.22 or 1.24, but start with the VTT and see if it'll run stable.
