OptiPlex 3060 SFF desktop

The OptiPlex 3060 SFF is a small form factor desktop built around an Intel Core i5-8500 running at 3.00 GHz. It ships with 8GB DDR4 memory and a new 500GB M.2 SSD for fast boot and application loading. Windows 10 Home 64-bit is pre-installed along with a new USB keyboard and mouse. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 handles everyday display output.

Sustained workload behaviour

The six-core processor maintains its 3.00 GHz base frequency across extended office tasks, web sessions and light content creation. The compact chassis and integrated graphics keep thermal output modest during long workdays. Memory capacity of 8GB DDR4 supports typical multitasking without heavy paging. The new M.2 SSD delivers consistent read speeds for repeated file access.

M.2 storage practical limits

The 500GB M.2 SSD provides solid-state responsiveness but capacity will fill quickly with large media libraries or multiple virtual machines. The SFF case restricts internal expansion, so additional storage must use external USB or network shares. Windows 10 Home 64-bit supports the current software ecosystem; an upgrade path to Windows 11 Pro exists for users needing newer OS features. Gigabit Ethernet and the USB Wi-Fi adapter cover standard connectivity.

Questions about this item

How much power does the i5-8500 draw when the OptiPlex 3060 runs all day?

The Intel Core i5-8500 is a 65 W processor, so sustained loads keep the small-form-factor chassis within its thermal design without excessive fan noise.

Does the OptiPlex 3060 include a display, or must I supply my own monitor?

The system ships without a monitor; you will need a display with HDMI, DisplayPort or VGA input to get video from the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630.

Can I keep using my older USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse with this desktop?

Yes, the new USB keyboard and mouse are included, but the front and rear USB ports are backward-compatible with USB 2.0 peripherals you already own.
