OptiPlex 3070 SFF, sound

Question

Hello, the Dell OptiPlex 3070 SFF has an integrated speaker inside? And how i can bypass that and connect the sound to my screen speakers?

RoHe · Accepted Answer

It should... Try it and you'll know for sure.

You could search the Optiplex forum to see if there are any threads about heat issues with the 3070.

FWIW, some Dell XPS AIOs have an exhaust fan that vents out along the top edge of the screen. Don't know about the Optiplex AIOs.

And this will deactivate the inside speaker?

RoHe · Answer

Connect the speakers to the Line Out port at top of rear PC panel (or to USB, if that's how they connect) and then power on.

At the desktop, open the Win 10 Sound screen and under Output, choose your output device...

Hello, do you know if it has cooler fan inside it?

Andreas mettas · Answer

The sff i mean 3070 optiplex

Andreas mettas · Answer

Yes i think the speaker will deactivate if i  connect the cable in the back, do u think that the sff will heat up easily? Also how can i find the manual of the big one? Thanks

Andreas mettas · Answer

Yes i know speccy.

I saw it, the normal size has one more fan at the back, but i dont think that sff will have an issue with normal office usage. Because then the AIO systems would have a huge issue.. as they dont have fans at all

Thanks

Appears the Optiplex 3070 SFF only has a fan in the CPU heat sink assembly (#3), plus a fan in the power supply (#17), according to page 16, here.

Did you resolve your speaker question?

EDIT: For future reference, the Optiplex forum is here.

RoHe · Answer

SFF PCs, in general, can get warmer than full-size tower PCs. You could install Speccy (free) to monitor CPU, GPU, and HDD temps.

Set Speccy to launch when you boot the PC, and also enable its option to show an icon in the notification area, near the clock. You decide which temp you want to see on that icon all the time, but you just mouse over the icon to see all the other temps Speccy monitors.

Manual for the "big one"? Not sure what you mean by that, but you can find the Service Manuals and docs for all the different Optiplex 3070 form factor models (Micro, SFF, Tower) here.

I just saw also the precision sff and behing it has something like a cooler and a fan attached to it, do u happen to know what that is?

RoHe · Answer

Don't know what Precision you're talking about. If you know the exact model number, look it up on the Support site and read its Service Manual. There's typically a section about removing/installing components which may have the info you want...

RoHe · Answer

Did you read the manual? Page 42 is about the heat sink fan. There's a rear panel system fan listed on page 79.  Bye...
