Can I mine on pc with intel e2180 dual core 2.0 and 4 gb ram on intel dg31pr and CoolerMaster MWE 450 (450w) 80+  ?
I have a single msi vega 56 air boost which I not attached yet as it says on packaging minimum 8gb ram and 650w psu is required. I will not use it for gaming.
My PSU has 2 6+2 pin on same cord and yes my MoBo has PCI-E x16 and x1. I will plug it in x16

As long as your Motherboards has a compatible socket for your cards (PCIe socket), you can be installing those Vega 56 on your board, and you can mine with it. One other important thing is PSUs, wattage and your card also need an excellent efficiency PSU's to handle it. Your 450 Watt (80+) is fine for idle  Grin, but for mining, you need more wattage (since you are using Vega 56). You can force using that PSU but isn't safe.

yea, that 450W psu will not last long. If you have a watt meter device, you can setup it and play a liitle with powersaving mods.

u must be kidding me. Mining is about running your card 24/24 and you think that office PSU can handle the Vega56 beast with 2 x 8 pin Huh

You can force to use current PSU as I said above. You need to tweak your card to do mining with your current PSU, but even with tweaking your card, it isn't safe with that PSU wattage.

Yeah, that was a good idea, ordering PSU with more bigger wattage.
