It's a solid motherboard, I've been using it for nearly a year and it's performing all the tasks it should.

It’s a solid choice, though its performance relative to the TUF B550 Plus isn’t clear. The B550 TUF Plus is in Tier A, while the Elite V2’s placement isn’t specified here.

I don't care about tier lists since they tend to be biased. It's not my intention to misunderstand, but Asus produces excellent motherboards. I had the same number of Asus boards as Gigabyte. I wouldn't want more Asus boards due to Armoury Crate—it's just too bothersome. Both boards are missing CLR CMOS on the IO shield, which can be frustrating when overclocking. They're quite similar overall; identical network cards and soundcards. Maybe port setup differs slightly. Gigabyte could have marginally better VRMs. Asus generally offers a superior BIOS and improved fan design.

Do you want to remove the Armoury crate? It’s not possible here.

Yes, you must also turn it off in the BIOS settings. Clearing CMOS or updating the BIOS will require re-enabling it each time.
