Using another PC, Format a flash drive 32gb or less as FAT32, visit the product page for the motherboard, scroll about halfway down and pick the "resources" tab: https://nzxt.com/product/n7-z690. Scroll down a bit more and grab the latest BIOS (currently 7.01). Extract the ZIP file and you should end up with a N7-Z69XT_7.01.ROM file. Rename this file to "creative.rom" (from what I understand lower-case matters here, but I didnt really test that; but can confirm that lowercase worked for me) and place it in the root of the flash drive you formatted. Unplug the drive from the other computer, stick it into the USB port on the back labeled "BIOS" (it's the upper-left most USB port). Power the system on while pressing and holding the "BIOS Flashback" button that is above the USB ports on the back for about 3 seconds (you should notice the system appear off, but if you look very closely at the BIOS flashback button, you'll see a flashing green light. Wait for that light to stop flashing and then because I'm paranoid, once it' stops, wait a couple more minutes just to be safe and then power the system on and it should boot without issue.
That can be a bit of an adventure for anybody who is new to building a computer and it was not the easiest information to find, so I figured I'd write that up here in case anybody finds it helpful. Thankfully, this wasn't my first rodeo
I also feel like it's worth noting that this motherboard has CPU power setup for 8+4 pins but I'm using a slightly older power supply that does not have an additional 4 pin and it boots/runs fine with just the 8 pin.
The board is basically just a rebranded ASRock motherboard for those who are curious, there are even some UEFI settings that mention ASRock in the descriptions.
Overall it's not bad, It's honestly not quite what I would have picked out for myself, but I got the board as a gift, so I stuck with it.
