Hi.
I have exactly the same setup as u and u can install ml using this card.
Make 10.8.2 install with unibeast
U need to delete nvidia kexts before starting setup
NVDAGF100Hal.kext
NVDAGK100Hal.kext
NVDANV50Hal.kext

Use GraphicsEnabler=No all the time and finish install.

After installed u need to download nvidia drivers.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-304.00.05f02-driver.html

HOW TO INSTALL ON NON MACPRO Modells:
1. Copy the nvidia install .pkg somewhere (desktop)
2. Show packadge contents in finder on .pkg
3. look after the .dist file
4. Open (drag & Drop) .dist with texteditor
5. change var found_hardware = 0 into =1
6 save .dist
7 Happy installing ( i use iMac11,1 - no problem after changing that var above )

And u are done with gtx 660 full working.

For audio to work with 3k bios u need to use voodoohda from multibeast.
Apple hda dont work with this new bios.

AppleHda wass working with 2302 bios and since i upgrade to ivy bridge cpu i cannot have 2k version anymore becouse of new cpu.

AppleHDA its not possible for this mobo and ivybridge cpu only sandybridge with 2302 bios.

"xpamamadeus" ur audio info helped me out bro. Thanks alot~~!
do you have issue with restart and shutdown?? b/c restart and shutdown is not working with me.
can you guide me how did you setup on the multibeast?
Also does ur Serial-ATA chipset show as "Unknown AHCI Stander Controller"?
Thanks Bunch~~!

Used multibeast to install network and latest version of voodoo hda nothing more just these two kext.

All other work oob after i configure "Clover" as a bootloader and i make after i make it work like real UEFI boot.

My restart,sleep restart to windows working like real mac,means i can select startup disk in preferences and after restart it will boot windows

Other think i dont get with chimera and chameleon its multi monitor support with clover all working perfect.

I am not sure if i colud post my clover config here and other things..

Mod if i break some of rules with talking about clover here i can edit this post.

To All - Could you not just roll back the BIOS to a lower version - say to version 2302 - which may have no problem w the Apple HDA roll back for sound.

As the 3208 has support for the E1 stepping - newer intel IVY Bridge CPU (4th gen) which if you are not using the newest IVY Bridge CPUs you would not need.

We are using just these unsuported cpu-s
i3770k.

i wass having i2600k and 2k bios and sound worked with applehda.

mini guide for using clover on our board UEFi metod.
First install ml 10.8.2 using your prefered metod.

Then multibeast using just these
VoodooHDA 0.2.7.3
3rd Party Sata
3rd Party eSata
Fakesmc
Caldigit usb 3.0
hnaks appleintelE100e.

Then we need to mount efi partition soo we can put clover there.
terminal
diskutil list
then u will see your efi partition identifier.

mkdir /Volumes/efi
sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/efi
after that command u need write yout password.

my efi partitionidentifier its disk1s1

now we have efi mounted.
just copy my efi folder to that partition and we are done with that stage.


Now we need add clover to our boot selection(tricky one)

We will use fat32 formated usb stick for that.
Same efi folder need to be copied to usb stick but shell64.efi (from folder tools)need to be copied to folder boot and renamed to bootx64.efi (old file must be renamed to something other or just deleted)

Boot with that stick using boot menu and chose UEFI and yout stick name bla bla

u will get directly to shell and now we need to do some magic.

map fs*
> fs0: (or fs1: or fs2: ...)
> ls
> cd \efi\boot
> ls

And then:
> help bcfg -b -v
and try to understand help from the screen
> bcfg boot dump
to list current boot options
> bcfg boot add N cloverx64.efi "OSX through Clover"
to add cloverx64.efi from the current dir as a boot option labeled "OSX through Clover". N should be boot option number: 0 if you wan it to be the first, 1 to be the second ...
> bcfg boot dump
to check if it is added
> reset

After that u will get clover as yout boot selection in bios boot manager.

When u are sure that all its working properly u can configure clover for direct boot in refit.conf
