Is his build compatible with Mountain Lion!?

[Person123]

Hey everybody!

I am slightly new to hackintoshing, have dealt with few problems here and there, but I was wondering if my system was compatible with OS X Mountain Lion.

Specs are as follows:

Motherboard Asus P8B75 c/csm (I know the audio on this is not really supported)
CPU: Intel Core i5 @3.20 GHz
RAM: 8 Gb Corsair Vengeance Beast (2 x 4 gb sticks) (Dual Channel)
GPU: I had a GeForce GTX 550 ti, but recently got a GeForce GTX 690 from a friend who wasn't using it. (I KNOW RIGHT?!?!) Please refer to the 690 please.

If anyone could leave me some feedback on just how compatible these parts are, as I have not been able to make them work with Mountain Lion, but Lion was a breeze.

Thanks in advance,

- Person

So this being my first build, I did not put the idea of making it a hackintosh into my head. That being said, I tried, and got Lion to work 100%, aside from the fermi cards having glitches, and the audio. Recently, I have also tried to install ML with a GTX 550 ti.

1st. error: Gray screen with beachball. Can move the mouse. This is when booting to the installer, have not installed yet. (Flags: -v PCIRootUID=0)

2nd error: Boot into installer with -x, install, then reboot to HDD through USB. Various hangs with problems that I have found workarounds for, such as a hang at a Bluetooth kext, and one conflicting with a windows hard drive.Hangs only occur without -x.

3rd. error: after booting into HDD with -x, use Multibeast. (I picked EasyBeast, nVidia Fermi 10.8.x patch, WiFi works out of the box, because it was a card made for mac... ) after multibeast, reboot and get a kernel panic. Says something about certain kexts or something.

Recently a friend said he had a GTX 690 I could buy from him, it turned out to be a 660 with 4GB of DDR5 RAM. I thought, OMG! A card supported by mac! No. Still getting the same errors as previously stated, but with a GTX 660. ^^

BOOTFLAGS I've tried:

-v, PCIRootUID=0, GraphicsEnabler=No, GraphicsEnabler=Yes, npci=0x3000, npci=0x2000, darkwake=1, darkwake=0, UseKernelCache=Yes, UseKernelCache=No, And every combination of all these flags put together.

Thanks for responding, and I hope this helps!
