The 1650 super requires a PSU of 350w or above, the OptiPlex 5040 has only 240w - you will need to change the PSU. FYI ... Dell and HP make their PSU proprietary. Make sure the new PSU fits - Apevia/Corsair 500w should fit - plus 24pin to 8pin adapter. The new PSU should have 6/8 pin GPU connectors already.

Hi Jose. This one recognized and booted up with 32GB RAM - no problem. *** Dell community says "Dell spec max memory is 16 GB DDR3L 1600. But you may add up to 32 GB with latest BIOS update."
@@jose-ec3co I believe this is a used/refurbished PC, they should have updated everything already. Put your RAM in, should work fine. If not, connect to the internet and type update in the search bar and click on "check for updates." Update everything including additional update. If bios was not updated, it will reboot and will update the bios - do not turn off your PC - let it do its thing. After that, your all set, install your 32GB RAM.
hello i have a 1650 super that uses 100 watts with a six pin slot should i use a sata to six pin or would a dual sata be better just to be safe
