My Asus M975a has a 8 pin CPU Slot but my psu has only 4 pin cpu power and its been working that way for over a year now I have an AMD fx8120 eight core processor, my question is: has it been working half capacity? and was it wrong for me to keep like that for that long?

If the CPU goes to full speed under load then it is working fine. You can check with this program http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

When you overclock it uses more current to be stable (Less Vdroop) it you get into extreme OC you would notice a difference with or without this plugged in. To run at stock or a little OC it will work fine with the 4 as you have noticed.
