It's probably the strength of the folding is set to medium. If you want the GPU to fold without the system to idle slide the slider all the way to full.

CPU: Intel core i5 3570 Motherboard: Gigabyte-H77-DS3H Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB  GPU: MSI Radeon HD 7950 Twin Frozr III Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB  PSU: Seasonic G Series 550W

One option - leave it at medium, but set a screen saver, with like a 5 minute timeout, to minimize wasted time. Screen Saver comes one, GPU's start up...
