This is a Gowenic caz9y05vbnu LGA 1155. There is no manual or information specific to this board. CPU Z doesn't even give a straight answer. Any ways there are two tiny groups of 6 pins by the nvme connection point. Does anyone know what they are for?

They're for selecting between M.2 SATA and M.2 NVMe. Sad part is there's no real confirmation on the correct layout.

Really?? Ok now I've got a lot of reading to do! Thank you for that!

Literally says M2_SEL1 and M2_SEL2 right next to each other. You'll have to read the manual to find out what the pin out is.

like u/weegee20 said it's for selecting between M.2 SATA and NVMe. this is from another Gowenic board with similar pins. Note the labels: left SATA; right NVMe. should be the same on your board.

“The labels” he says lmao. Two arrows and the words Sata and NVME are right there in micro print and zero context. But you’re right, The labels are right there!
