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?

- Just flash the latest UEFI, and please do because stable EXPO speeds require the latest version.
- At least the Noctua instruction booklet says 5 dots, if I remember right. It’s been running fine here (7950X which tends to get quite hot) with a Noctua heatsink.
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).
