Questions about this item

Will the 16 GB DDR3 module need replacing if I want more memory later?

The system has two memory slots and supports up to 32 GB total, so you can add a second DDR3 module instead of replacing the existing one.

What limits the Intel Core i5-8500 first when the desktop runs flat-out for hours?

The processor will reach its thermal ceiling before power delivery becomes a constraint, so sustained heavy loads are capped by heat dissipation.

How loud and hot does the OptiPlex 3060 get when it runs all day with the 24 inch monitor attached?

The small-form-factor chassis uses a standard heatsink and fan; under continuous load the fan spins up noticeably and the case becomes warm to the touch.
