Dell Precision 3431 SFF Overview

Power through intensive tasks with the Precision 3431 Small Form Factor Desktop Computer from Dell, which will let you elevate your ideas with professional performance, a compact design, and Dell's Reliable Memory Technology Pro. The Precision 3431 is powered by a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5-9600 Six-Core processor which will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously. If more power is needed, the CPU can deliver extra performance by increasing its clock speed up to 4.6 GHz utilizing Intel's Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. There is also 8GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 RAM that comes in a 1 x 8GB configuration and can be upgraded to 64GB by using a 16GB module in each of the four 288-pin DIMM slots.

For storage of your files, this system is equipped with a 1TB 7200 rpm SATA 2.5" hard drive. If you want to add external storage drives, optical drives, printers, memory card readers, or other peripherals, the 3431 features one USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port with PowerShare, five USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports (one front and four rear), four USB 2.0 Type-A ports (two front and two rear), one of which supports PowerShare and two of which support SmartPower On, and two PS/2 ports. The dedicated AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100 graphics card has 2GB of GDDR5 RAM and delivers a sharp, clear picture, while allowing for multiple simultaneous displays to be used via its single DisplayPort and two Mini DisplayPort outputs. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the integrated Realtek ALC3234 audio controller outputs high-definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers. Network connectivity is achieved using the integrated Gigabit Ethernet port, or connect wirelessly by installing Wi-Fi card in the available M.2 2230 slot. Dell's 9.5mm 8x DVD±RW drive can be used to read from and write to optical media.

The Precision 3431 Small Form Factor Desktop Computer includes Dell's KB216 USB keyboard, MS116 USB mouse, and a power cord. The installed operating system is Windows 10 Pro (64-bit).

General Features
Blaze Past Limits
Power through the most intensive tasks with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5-9600 Six-Core processor and 8GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 memory, which can be upgraded to 64GB. The motherboard also features increased memory trace length that meet Intel's guidelines.
Next Gen Graphics
Run professional applications quickly with integrated or dedicated graphics.
Expandable and Flexible
The Precision 3431 can be equipped with scalable storage options that include SATA, SAS, and NVMe PCIe SSDs to deliver improved performance for complex projects. You can also add Intel Optane Memory to further boost system responsiveness, while keeping high-capacity storage costs to a minimum.
Tuned Performance
Free with your Precision workstation, the Dell Precision Optimizer delivers faster application optimization with a single click. It also automatically tunes your workstation to run popular ISV applications at the fastest speeds possible, has automated system updates, and provides analytics to address resource bottlenecks.
Customized Performance
Upgrade to the Dell Precision Optimizer Premium version, an AI-based performance optimizer software for workstations. This program learns the behavior of user-specified applications, identifies optimization opportunities using machine learning, and applies performance improvements.
Work Without Fail
Dell Reliable Memory Technology Pro (RMT) protects your work from potential crashes related to memory errors. Working in conjunction with ECC memory, it detects and corrects or maps out memory errors in real time. RMT Pro also monitors the health of the memory and alerts the user when the memory is at a critical level and needs to be replaced.
Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Certification
Precision workstations are tested to ensure the high-performance applications you rely on every day run smoothly. Dell ISV-certifications cover the most popular independent software applications.
Small Space? No Problem
The Precision 3431 Small Form Factor features an industrial small form factor design that is ideal for space-constrained workspaces that need workstation-class performance and reliability.
Premium and Accessible Design
Handle demanding tasks with ease, thanks to a range of features designed for an efficient workflow. Premium materials and the optional external dust filter keep internal components pristine, while Wi-Fi capabilities and a range of accessible ports keep you connected to everything you need.
Windows 10 Pro
Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Cortana
Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana, can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the Internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Laptop, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information-gathering skills.
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
Additional Windows 10 Pro Features
The Pro version of Windows 10 includes all the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for business users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and the Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific applications.
