Quick question, when OCing, do you guys disable turbo mode? I am guessing yes, but want to confirm.

Moderate overclocks you can leave turbo mode on. But I wouldn't recommend it because it may lock up your system. I would highly recommend disabling Turbo mode.
 
Depends. I have mine off since I'm at the top end. If you know your top/max overclock and you set it at a lower rate then yes (as long as you have enough voltage to support the "turbo mode").

Example - My i7-920 can hit 4.2 ghz/1.4 v - MAX, but my temps run +90c. Until I can get a better HSF; I set it at 3.8 ghz/1.375 v for everyday use and with Turbo, it can boost to 4.0 ghz when it needs it.
