DELL OptiPlex 9800 SFF Desktop PC i5-6500 3.2GHz 16GB 1TB SSD 22" LCD

Dell OptiPlex 9800 SFF desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 9800 SFF is a compact desktop computer powered by an Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.2GHz with two cores. It ships with 16GB of memory and a 1TB solid-state drive for the operating system and applications. Integrated Intel HD Graphics handles video output through DisplayPort connections. A 22-inch LCD monitor and a USB Wi-Fi adapter are included, and Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed.

Check memory slots and monitor input

The system provides two memory slots with a maximum supported capacity of 32GB, so verify whether you plan to add more modules later. Ensure your workspace can accommodate the 22-inch LCD and that you have a free USB port for the included Wi-Fi adapter. Confirm the monitor’s video input matches the desktop’s DisplayPort outputs or that you have the appropriate cable or adapter. The small form factor chassis limits internal expansion space for additional cards or drives.

Thermals noise and power in daily use

The small form factor design uses a compact cooling assembly sized for the 65W-class processor, so fan noise stays low during typical office tasks such as document editing and web browsing. Under sustained loads the fan speed will rise but remains within normal desktop limits. Power draw scales with CPU utilisation and the attached 22-inch display, staying modest for general productivity work. Adequate ventilation around the chassis helps maintain stable temperatures.
