Small Form Factor Desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 3040 fits a full desktop into a compact chassis suited to office desks, reception counters or home workspaces. It ships with Windows 11 Pro 64-bit, 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD so the system is ready for business applications immediately. A wireless keyboard and mouse are included, and built-in Wi‑Fi handles network access without extra cabling.

Intel Core i5-6500 Processor

The quad-core CPU runs at a 3.20 GHz base frequency and can reach 3.60 GHz maximum turbo frequency for responsive multitasking. With four cores and four threads it handles typical productivity loads such as document editing, web sessions and video calls. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives displays up to 4096 × 2304 at 60 Hz through DisplayPort and HDMI outputs.

Sustained Office Workloads

The small form factor thermal design is built for continuous business hours rather than short bursts. Under steady multi-tasking the processor maintains its turbo behaviour within the chassis limits, while the SSD keeps application launches and file saves consistent. Buyers needing discrete graphics performance or user-upgradeable memory beyond the 16GB maximum should consider a different platform.

Questions about this item

How does the 3.60 GHz turbo frequency behave under everyday workloads?

The Intel Core i5-6500 can reach 3.60 GHz on active cores when thermal headroom allows, giving snappy response for office apps and web browsing.

What display outputs does the Intel HD Graphics 530 provide and what resolution can they drive?

The integrated graphics offers DisplayPort and HDMI, supporting up to 4096 × 2304 at 60 Hz for a single 4K monitor.

Will the small form factor chassis accept a full-height graphics card or only low-profile cards?

The 3040 SFF uses low-profile expansion slots, so only half-height cards fit; full-height cards require a different chassis.
