    Questions:
    As you can see I'm using Asus P6T mobo but there are some settings in bios which I'm not sure of what to select. These are the following items and settings I applied:

    C1E Support: disabled
    Hardware prefetcher: disabled
    Adjecent cache line prefetch: disabled
    Intel Virtualization tech: disabled
    CPU TM function: enabled
    Execute-disable bit: enabled
    Intel HT technology: disabled
    Active processor cores: all
    A20M: disabled
    Intel speedstep tech: disabled
    Intel turbomode tech: disabled
    Intel C-state tech: disabled

    - Did I apply the correct settings on overall?
    - Is it possible to enable a power consumption saving setting (like speedstep for instance) while overclocking?
    - Is it possible to use turbomode on P6T when using 190+ bclk?

    First results
    After a lot of reading I applied some reference voltages in the bios and started OC'ing right away. It seems to be stable right away. I'm not used to that after switching from P5E3-Premium to this board. These results are without HT enabled. But is there much more vcore necessary when enabling HT? I think my temps are good and still have some potential left. Nonetheless I would like to know your opinion on these results and if possible give some advice for improvement.

    Settings:
    MP: 20x
    BCLK: 200
    DRAM: 1200
    Uncore: 3200
    QPI: 3600
    Vcore: 1.35
    CPU PLL: 1.92
    QPI/DRAM: 1.35
    CPU spread spectrum: disabled
    PCIE spread spectrum: disabled

    Everything else on AUTO

    a couple ideas for you.
    i think the max cpu pll should be no greater than 1.89 (according to intel)
    you may need more than 1.35 vcore for 4 ghz, I needed 1.4v
