Not all chips overclock the same.
He should "overclock as much as he can", not "overclock to 3.6". Why do I say this? I've been told by people to overclock my Radeon HD 5770 to 960/1350 like everone else, but I can't stable past 920/1225.
And then there's aging to take into account. If he's had this CPU for a while, then he might only be able to push half of what he used to be. I, myself, had my maximum OC reduced by ~200 MHz in the past month or so, so it's not like it takes a really long time for a chip to age.
