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?

Generally it's best to update if there's a major issue with your CPU that is fixed. It wasn't that long ago that the 7000-series CPUs had issues with motherboards being configured to over-volt one of the pins and melt the CPU from the inside (the updates have since rectified this).
