Dell OptiPlex 5040 SFF desktop overview

The Dell OptiPlex 5040 SFF is a small form factor business desktop powered by a 6th Generation Intel Core i5-6500 quad-core processor with 6 MB L3 cache. It comes with 8 GB of DDR3 memory and a new 240 GB solid-state drive. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 handles display output. Windows 10 Professional is pre-installed along with a USB Wi-Fi adapter, DVDRW drive, keyboard and mouse.

Check expansion slots

The chassis provides one half-height PCIe x16 slot and one half-height PCIe x4 slot for add-in cards. An M.2 22x80 mm slot is also present. Video output uses two DisplayPort connectors and one HDMI port; verify your monitors match these interfaces. The system includes six USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports for peripherals. A wired Gigabit Ethernet port is built in alongside the USB wireless adapter.

Suits office users needing a compact Windows 10 PC

This configuration fits general office tasks, web browsing and multi-monitor setups using integrated graphics. Buyers who need discrete graphics performance, larger internal storage capacity or more than 16 GB of memory should consider other systems. The small form factor limits full-height expansion cards and additional 3.5-inch drive bays. No monitor is included in the package.

Questions about this item

Does the PC come with a monitor, keyboard and mouse, or do I need to buy a display separately?

A keyboard and mouse are included. The supplier notes state the monitor is not included, so you will need to provide your own display.

The listing mentions DDR3 memory — is the installed 8 GB the maximum or can I add more later?

The manufacturer highlights indicate the system supports up to 16 GB of DDR3, so the current 8 GB can be doubled by adding another module.

The i5-6500 is shown with a base speed of 3.20 GHz and a turbo up to 3.60 GHz — which speed will I see in everyday work?

The processor runs at 3.20 GHz under normal load and can boost to 3.60 GHz for short bursts when thermal headroom allows.
