Skews did nothing for me, but I cannot boot with a negative NB GTL but can at Auto or Positive.

Currently I am @ +40 NB for 475FSB and CPU GTL's are +20/+40/+20/+40, Tried to leave the 20's at Auto and also tried all Negatives but not sure what's best as of above info. because its simply random each reboot.

It makes no difference if I use 1 Module or all 4 Modules or even my older Corsair Modules, still hard to get over 475FSB and 1175MHZ seems limit though my Ram can do more.

My advise would be to sell of some of the non needed kit and buy a Q9650 and see how far it can go on an A3 after all that's what the Gigabytes are.
that quad still giving you grief???

I found in the beginning positive GTL values worked better for me I'm using a negative value now and am limited to 471FSB above this and my clocks fail...
525FSB is a walk in the park for my 8400 but either my 9550 or 9650 struggles after 470FSB...
