Need to test:
Amazon prime
UHD disk playback

BIOS Settings:
CSM/Fastboot/Serial port/Vt-d/Trusted computing/Wake on LAN - Disabled
Above 4G Decoding/XHCI handoff - Enabled
XMP profile=1

Initially, I started with iMac19,1 suitable for my hardware. But couldn't make hardware acceleration to work. I can't enable iGPU as 9400F won't support it.

Total USB ports in Back Panel and Front Panel (2x USB3) is 16. The USB Type C is only shown under HS port and so that makes it 15 USB ports. Initially used XHCI-unsupported kext to install OS and then added USB mapping kext.
SSDT-AWAC.aml RTC fix is not needed for this board.
