Thank you for the advise, but really it´s ok.It works fine while crunching, I can play cs:go above 144fps no problem that´s all I need for now. And when I render a project it will take ages anyway, so it´s not a hassle to just stop the BOINC-Manager manually.
And I hope you don´t expect me to pull these numbers constantly, I calculated my electricity bill for one year when I continue like this and it adds up to an additional 1.600€ every year X_X . Energy is expensive around here.
I was doing some testing with my new GPU cards and boy can crunching really affect the scores if you let it carry on! But if it's causing no worry or issues for you then so be it
What sort of work do you do @Dinnercore ?? I don't expect anyone to do anything because I'd ask, it's completely their choice
One of the reasons I decided to crunch again was that I had solar panels fitted to my home about a year and a bit ago whilst I was mining, it was nearer the end of the mining I did but boy could it help masses I have a 4kW array which when it peaks over 3600w, it runs everything in the home without any question.. If no PC or anything is on, I estimate I use about 200w to 250w an hour (depending on the fridge or freezer kicking in for example) but when I turn on the 8 PC's I have that currently work in the house, I can easily burn through over a 1kW of electric in an hour.. Maybe nearer 2kW if I'm honest! So during the day time, I run as many as I can depending on the weather If the weather is crappy and being it's the UK, it's most of the time is, then I'll just run the most efficient crunchers, otherwise all of them go on I'll find my cruncher list and link you to what I have This is definitely not a cheap hobby or sport but as long as it's sunny, I'll do my best to use as much power as I possibly can 
I'll stop there, I don't want to bore you everyone anymore!!
But hopefully it's of some relevance
