New PC. A couple question on setting up DCS again.

[dooom]

just built a new pc and have a couple questions if I may:

1. I took my old DCS Samsung 1TB SSD over from my old PC that had my install of DCS on.  I have an NVME now that i installed windows on... should i keep running DCS off the Samsung or install fresh on the NVME? 
2. If i install DCS on the nvme, is there a way to point it to the SSD for all the maps and module installs (i'd like it to boot faster but the maps and modules take up soooo much space )
3. I maxed the graphics out just to check performance... my radeon 6900xt was at 77/78 deg C and my CPU with liquid cooling was at 50 deg.  are they too hot?  when i stopped the sim my cpu dropped to 38 deg c and the gpu to 50 deg C
4. My new TUF Gaming Mobo doesnt have too many USB ports.... What are you guys doing / what should i consider in order to get my warthog/mfd/rudders hooked up cleanly?

Thanks ... looking forward to flying again.

installing DCS on a faster drive, and then leaving most of it on the slower one is self-defeating … if you have the space, then just copy your old DCS program folder onto the new drive, no need to reinstall from internet, which is much slower. You will have to rebind your aircraft controls unless you backup them first. Also hopefully you backed up your saved games/dcs/ folder so that you kept your logbook and campaign status.

 

if you dont have enough space on the new drive, then leave DcS where it is, you will still need to rebind or restore your controls and recover your saved games data.
