Compact business desktop for office tasks

This refurbished Dell OptiPlex 3040 uses an Intel Core i5-6500 quad-core processor at 3.20 GHz with 12 GB DDR3L memory and a 256 GB SSD. Windows 10 Home is pre-installed. The small-form-factor chassis suits desk-mounted or behind-monitor placement in general business environments.

Fits tight spaces with integrated graphics

The 180 W internal supply powers the CPU, Intel HD Graphics 530 and a DVD±RW drive without extra cables. Video output runs through one DisplayPort and one HDMI port. Four USB ports on the front and four at the rear handle peripherals. Gigabit LAN, a USB Wi-Fi adapter and a USB Bluetooth adapter provide network options. No monitor is included.

Low thermal load from modest components

The 65 W quad-core processor and integrated graphics draw well within the 180 W supply under typical office workloads. A single system fan cools the slim chassis; acoustic output remains low during document editing, web browsing and video playback. The SSD eliminates mechanical drive noise. Power consumption stays modest in daily use.

Questions about this item

How long can the i5-6500 at 3.20 GHz sustain full load before the 180 W power supply becomes the limiting factor?

The 180 W supply caps sustained CPU and graphics draw, so prolonged heavy workloads will hit that ceiling first.

What are the noise and heat levels when the OptiPlex 3040 runs all day in its slim chassis?

The compact 180 W design keeps fan noise low and heat manageable for typical business tasks during extended use.

Which display cable do I need to connect a monitor to the DisplayPort or HDMI ports on this unit?

You must provide your own DisplayPort or HDMI cable, as no monitor or video cable is included with the desktop.
