Tower workstation for everyday productivity

The OptiPlex 7040 Tower is a desktop computer built around an Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.60GHz with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 1TB SSD. It ships with Windows 11 Pro and includes a keyboard and mouse. The tower form factor fits standard office desks while providing internal expansion room.

Sustained performance with integrated graphics

The i5-6500 maintains its 3.60GHz turbo frequency during extended workloads thanks to the tower chassis airflow. Integrated graphics handle typical business applications, video playback and multi-monitor setups without a discrete card. The 16GB DDR4 configuration keeps memory pressure low for long sessions.

Connectivity limits of the provided ports

Six USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports cover most peripherals, though high-speed external storage will saturate the 3.0 interface. Dual DisplayPort and a single HDMI output support up to three displays at their native resolutions. Wi-Fi is included for wireless networking without additional adapters.

Questions about this item

How much power does the Intel Core i5-6500 draw when the OptiPlex 7040 Tower runs all day?

The processor has a 65 W thermal design power, so sustained loads stay within that envelope; the tower chassis and its internal fan are sized to dissipate that heat without excessive noise.

Which display cables must I already own to use the two DisplayPort and one HDMI outputs on this OptiPlex 7040?

You need a DisplayPort cable for each monitor you connect to the two DisplayPort ports, and an HDMI cable for any screen plugged into the single HDMI port; no adapters are included.

Will my older USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse work with the four USB 2.0 and six USB 3.0 ports on this tower?

Yes, every USB 2.0 device works in both the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports; the six USB 3.0 ports are backward compatible, so legacy peripherals function without extra drivers.
