I've been running 10.8.3 on the UP5 TH with no real problems.
I'm not actually at home at the moment so I can't give you bios details right now I'm afraid but at least you know it 'should' work.
Interestingly I had a corrupted bios recently which meant the backup bios kicked in (F3 version), the computer booted fine from the F3 bios even though it appeared as if all the bios settings had gone back to their defaults. (ie.Default optimized settings). I say interesting because it was working for me even on a releatively 'unconfigured' bios so I'm really not sure why you're having problems if you've followed one of the guides on here.
You said 10.8.2 was working fine right? Odd, as there's no need for any difference in Bios setting between 10.8.2 and 10.8.3 as far as I'm aware.
For now I would try disconnecting the video card and try and see if you get any further using just the integrated graphics for now.
Finally - Yes you can do a clean install of 10.8.3 from a Unibeast USB installer. Lion or Snow leopard is not required in any way if using a Unibeast installer.
Just follow the usual steps to create the Unibeast USB installer making sure to re-download the OSX ML installer in the App Store so you have the latest 10.8.3 version of the installer.
I'll try and post my bios setting asap though I'm busy all this evening.
Good luck!
