Business desktop for office tasks

The Dell OptiPlex 3040 MT is a compact tower built for everyday business computing. It ships with Windows 10 Pro, a keyboard and a mouse so it is ready to deploy. The 6th generation Intel Core i5-6500 processor provides four cores for standard productivity workloads.

Sustained performance with integrated graphics

Under continuous load the i5-6500 maintains a base frequency of 3.20 GHz and can reach 3.60 GHz when thermal headroom allows. The 6 MB L3 cache helps keep frequent data close to the cores. Intel HD Graphics 530 handles display output without a discrete card.

Storage capacity defines suitability

The 240 GB SSD holds the operating system and a modest set of business applications. Buyers who need more storage for large local datasets or media libraries will find the single drive limiting. The platform supports up to 16 GB of DDR3 memory for future expansion.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the i5-6500 run when the OptiPlex 3040 MT operates all day?

The i5-6500 has a 65 W TDP and the Mini-Tower chassis uses a standard Dell thermal solution; under typical office loads the fan stays at low RPM and case temperatures remain warm but not hot.

Which display cable do I need to connect a monitor to the Intel HD Graphics 530 on this desktop?

The rear I/O provides DisplayPort and VGA outputs, so a DisplayPort or VGA cable is required — neither is included in the box.

Will my existing DDR3 memory modules work if I want to expand the 8 GB already installed?

Yes, the board accepts DDR3 DIMMs up to 16 GB total, so any compatible DDR3 sticks you already own can be added to the free slots.
