OK, not yet a newbee to this, just wanting some more info, on all this.  What i read tells me about what folding is, but does not tell what is used to fold.
So what does this entail in the way of system use or folding ?

Hey Ghost13, welcome.
Current folding projects use your graphics card processing power (and a the occasional CPU core), if you don't need it.

Best to limit it to your GPUs - they are Much faster & energy efficient if you have a 900 series or new GPU
 
Once you start a New WU (work unit) you Need to complete it before the deadline, without Errors (gaming OC will not usually work for Folding)
 
CPU folding is much slower & takes more energy --- so unless you have a rack of servers & permission to run the project on them... stick to GPU

im worried, cause i done something close to what you say, some time back, and lets just say, i lost alot of stuff,  So im kinda iffy on this type thing .  Love to do it, but has to be trusted and not any more used than what is needed to be used .
In other words, it really has to be TRUSTED . 

The program can be trusted. The "permission" to run the program due to the electricity used. If the equipment is yours and you pay the utility bills you have nothing to fear, fold away

ight thank you,   now i can put my 1070 FTW and Intel I7 8700K to use when not in use my self ..

Hey everyone, long time folder (took a long break too) but back with a 1070Ti swapping to the team! 
 
Hopefully I can get a couple more pieces going soon.
