I was able to get clover to work on an EX58-UD5 board and here's my stuff:
GA-EX58-UD5 Mobo
9800GT Video card
i7-950
I got everything working with Unibeast (easy, just remember that you'll need the boot flags -x PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes IGPEnabler=no )
Once you've run mutlitbeast everything should be solid except I noticed that I had to keep fixing bios to have AHCI mode and 64 bit power.... I don't have that problem in clover so I didn't worry about a permanent fix for it.
Then I installed clover with the settings in Tony's guide for post install on a legacy system (see attachment clover settings)
Then I used the attached config and dsdt and the 3 kexts from Tony's Clover guide + replacing the vbox file he says to get rid with the HFSPlus-64.efi
Then it's really important to go into clover configurator before rebooting and changing your Graphics section to inject Nvidia. I banged my head against the wall for quite a while because it was injecting intel by default. (see screenshot for what you want to see).
Reboot into the OS X drive (I set the timeout in cover configurator to 0 so that I don't see the clover screen) and now you will need to get sound working for clover... IF YOU TRY TO USE MULTIBEAST AT THIS POINT FOR SOUND YOU WILL BREAK IT Trust me, I know... (you'll get the circle with a line though it-- or the "no symbol" where the apple would be during boot) ha ha so the deal is that you have a ALC889a sound codec which apparently is the same as 885... so here's what you do:
Go here:

And follow the instructions that start a little way down the page (BOLD SECTION 3) starting with
"3. cloverALC/Clover patched: automatically detects codec and installs all audio files and patches for ALC onboard audio. Audio persists after most Software Updates. Install once and done. Credit: abxite"
Your system may identify your codec as ALC885-- mine did and that's totally ok. Follow the few steps and you'll have a pretty bulletproof system from head to toe...
I made sure to generate my simbios stuff while I was in clover configurator too, but that's it! Hopefully that helps someone!
I really wish I could get sleep to work right, I just don't know what to do there...
