Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the OptiPlex 5040-SFF get when the Intel Core i7-6700 runs at 3.40 GHz all day?

The small-form-factor chassis uses a compact internal fan and heatsink designed for the i7-6700; under sustained load the fan spins up but stays at a moderate office-friendly level, and the aluminium heatspreader keeps CPU temperatures stable.

Which cables and peripherals must I already have to start using the 512 GB SSD and Intel HD Graphics 530 immediately?

You need a display with DisplayPort or HDMI input plus its cable, a USB keyboard and mouse, and a mains lead; the SSD and graphics are already installed and the Windows 10 Pro licence is activated.

Will my existing DDR3 modules work alongside the 16 GB already fitted in this OptiPlex 5040?

The system ships with 16 GB of DDR3; the board has two DIMM slots supporting up to 16 GB total, so no additional DDR3 can be added without first removing the installed memory.
