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?

Its just easier to manage a small mess one than a large mess twice lol. I havent seen anything that would leave me to believe there is a way to put too much tic on a die. Are they really nonconductive though? If you put enough of it in the right places Im sure it would conduct.

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.
