About Dell Optiplex 7040 Business SFF Computer Small Tower PC
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
77% appreciated the premium build quality, while 23% found it lacking
For the price, the overall condition of the product is excellent.
I am throwing away the poor quality keyboard and mouse.
When I removed the CPU sink, I found years old solid and chunky thermal paste.
89% liked the numerous connectivity options
I received the missing WiFi adapter from the seller.
69% praised for its efficient cooling system
I replaced the old thermal paste and it dropped the temperature from 39c to 28c. It will extend CPU life, which is important for the heart of my computer.
81% liked the customizable lighting and sleek design, but 19% found it gaudy
Thankfully, the seller did a good job on packaging and nothing was broken despite the box being thrashed.
I did not find any information about the lighting and aesthetics of gaming-tower-computers in the review.
I am dissatisfied with the provided mouse and keyboard. They are not the ones advertised in the images. The mouse is scratched, old, and has human hand grease on it in many places. The seller did not bother to clean the mouse after whoever used it, which is unacceptable.
83% liked the generous memory and storage capacity
I have a system with a 256GB SATA SSD and 4x4GB DDR4-2400 RAM.
89% praised for its whisper-quiet operation, though 11% found it noisy
I couldn't find any information about the noise level in the review.
85% praised for its blistering processing speed
The product works amazingly fast with no lag and opens applications quickly.
81% appreciated the easy upgradability options, though 19% found it difficult
I am concerned about the upgradability of my gaming tower computer, specifically the NVMe. The NVMe I received is sitting at 80% life and I dont expect it to survive long. The idle temps are 62c, and under load it gets to 80c.
