Looking for some XFX Vega 56 feedback on flashing/optimizing

[cisco kidd]

Hey guys, been out of the loop quite a while but a long time member but use to spend most of my time over at overclockers.com

I have a XFX Vega 56 RX-VEGALDFF6 double dissipation two fan card.

I would like to optimize this card for mining and am wondering if first the heatsink should be removed and new thermal paste applied and next is it worth flashing the bios to a Vega 64? If not what is best optimization for this particular card and what is best way to determine what memory I may have. I have had the card a while but basically used it for gaming, it may now be used for mining

Point me in the right direction, would help greatly, what is card capable and is it worthwhile

thermal paste would help
i would recommend not flasing to vega 64 and juts
getting a mining bios for the 56

thanks, I see it seems better to just leave on stock bios or finding a mining bios, is there a section with the best option for the XFX dual fan version of Vega 56?
