Dell OptiPlex 3040 MT business desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 3040 MT is a business desktop built around a 6th Gen Intel Core i5-6500 processor with 6 MB cache and a base frequency of 3.20 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR3 memory, a 240 GB SSD paired with a 500 GB HDD, a DVD-RW drive and Windows 10 Pro. A keyboard and mouse are included.

Mini-tower form factor with tool-less access

The mini-tower chassis uses tool-less entry so the side panel lifts off without screws. Memory slots and drive bays are exposed for straightforward upgrades. The proprietary front-panel connectors and custom power-supply shape limit aftermarket board or PSU swaps, so plan to keep the original layout.

Intel HD Graphics 530 integrated video

Graphics are handled by the integrated Intel HD Graphics 530, which drives office applications and dual-display setups through the onboard video outputs. There is no discrete graphics card and the low-profile slots cannot accommodate full-height GPUs, so buyers who need 3D rendering or gaming performance should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Intel Core i5-6500 is running at its 3.60 GHz turbo speed after setup?

Open Task Manager, go to the Performance tab, select CPU and watch the live frequency while a load is applied; it should reach 3.60 GHz when thermal headroom allows.

Which accessories are included in the box and which must be purchased separately?

The box contains the OptiPlex 3040 MT tower, a keyboard and a mouse; a monitor is not included and must be bought separately.

Should I choose the 240 GB SSD plus 500 GB HDD combination or a single larger drive?

The system already ships with a 240 GB SSD for the OS and a 500 GB HDD for data, giving both speed and capacity without extra cost.
