Looks like this board is fairly friendly.
Create Unibeast bootstick.
Install the OS onto an AHCI drive, plugged into the 3GB/sec SATA port (6GB/sec supposedly has issues) - I used an onboard mSATA module which has a 3GB/sec interface and works perfectly.
Install Mountain Lion - for some reason the "Customize install" option during the install is completely blank, irritating as I can't turn off stuff I don't need, but oh well...
Once installed, reboot with USB stick, put the DSDT from the post at the bottom of the first page of THIS thread:

onto your desktop (unzip it so you get the .aml file).
Use Multibeast and run just the "UserDSDT" option and install.
Reboot and you should be in business. I'm using the displayport output on the GTX670 if that makes any difference.
Forget about trying to get audio working, VoodooHDA causes massive crashing for me, don't really care as I'm using a USB soundcard anyway which works perfectly.
I also installed the SSDT from Multibeast for my Ivy Bridge i5, it doesn't cause any crashing but not sure if it's doing anything beneficial. The system seems to be VERY sensitive about Multibeast options. Even trying to enable TRIM support for my SSD causes crashing, all going well there will be a more 10.8-friendly release not too far away.
