Questions about this item
How much heat and noise does the GTX 1050 Ti add when the OptiPlex 3060 SFF runs all day?
The GTX 1050 Ti is a low-profile card that fits the small form factor chassis, so the system relies on the standard Dell thermal solution for the i5-8500 and GPU together.
Which display cables and monitor inputs do I need ready for the GTX 1050 Ti on this OptiPlex 3060 SFF?
The card provides DisplayPort and HDMI outputs, so have a monitor with either input and the matching cable ready before first boot.
Will my existing DDR4 memory modules work if I want to expand the 16 GB already installed in this OptiPlex 3060 SFF?
The system uses DDR4 memory; any added sticks must be DDR4 to be compatible with the motherboard.
