Business-ready small-form-factor desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 5040 SFF delivers a compact Windows 10 Pro platform powered by an Intel Core i5-6500 at 3.20GHz. It targets office teams and home-office users who need a space-saving tower for everyday productivity applications.

Fits tight workspaces with integrated graphics

The small chassis slides onto a shelf or behind a monitor without a discrete graphics card. Four memory slots allow the installed 16GB DDR3 to be rearranged or expanded, while the 512GB SSD and DVD-RW drive handle boot, apps and legacy media in one box.

512GB SSD and 16GB DDR3 for mainstream workloads

The solid-state drive provides fast start-up and room for documents, while 16GB of memory keeps multiple browser tabs and office suites responsive. Heavy video editing, large databases or modern 3D titles will exceed the integrated graphics and DDR3 bandwidth limits.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.20 GHz Core i5-6500 throttle under sustained load in the small form factor case?

The 65 W processor and compact chassis can reach thermal limits during prolonged heavy workloads, causing the CPU to reduce its 3.20 GHz boost clock.

How loud does the system fan become when the PC runs all day?

The small form factor uses a single low-profile fan that spins faster under continuous load, producing an audible but not disruptive noise level in a typical office.

Will my existing DDR3 memory modules work if I want to expand beyond the installed 16 GB?

Yes, the board has four DDR3 slots and the installed 16 GB uses standard DDR3 modules, so additional DDR3 sticks can be added up to the board's maximum capacity.
