Mountain Lion on GA-X79-UD5 - DSDT?

Hey Guys, I'm just coming into this with my first build and I'm using this Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 mobo mentioned here and Mountain Lion. I was trying to find the right DSDT (as recommended to do) but could not find any reference to one for this board. I chose this board specifically because it was recommended as compatible on the Tonymac site so I am not sure where this leaves me. My final parts for my build will be here tomorrow and I don't now if I can move ahead with out a DSDT file (?) Can anyone help me out here? We all have to start somewhere so here I am... and it's a little scary.
 
I read a lot in the forum concerning this board and I observed that the people who had it running used Lion, but not Mountain Lion. Also it looks like anything before Bios 9 and after 11 causes problems.
I got Mountain Lion running, but not stable and without flags. I tried so much and spend two days, but finally I think that even with Bios 13f03 it will not work do to some problems between drivers and bios.
The thing is just that ML always run into a case where many settings don't even get loaded on start, leaving ML to not work in LAN, get problems searching the harddriver and not even able to play a video.

Another thing could be that with ML, many graphic card drivers where dropped in multibeast. Maybe there is the problem.
