Is it safe to flash latest UEFI or does it have to be updated incrementally 1 at a time, or every second release, etc?

What is the best method for paste for Noctua air cooler? Do I put 5 tiny dots? Do I do an X pattern? Which one?

Technically everything is conductive. Given a large enough voltage difference electricity will travel through any medium. But thermal compound is made to be very low conductivity. The real concern is thermal paste getting into things like your fan later and jamming stuff up, also making your PC look nice and not like a grey goopy mess.
