So this is what Task Manager shows. Core 0 and 3 are on high load when I'm gaming, and once I finish gaming it goes back down. What's going on? Specs:                                                                           

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 Thuban 6-Core 2.7GHz

GPU: GeForce GTX 550 Ti

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) Blue

MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 mc7gB.png

see if you can set the affinity of the game task to the unused cores

Nothing wrong is happening. If your worried, download intel extreme tuning utility and do a stress test

Hmm, I overclocked my CPU from 2.7Ghz to 3.24Ghz last night and it goes to 4GHz on Turbo Mode. I stress tested in last night, for 9 hours and 42 mins, nothing went wrong (Prime95 btw).

I play osu!, it's not intensive at all, a rhythm game where it's literally based off of png images.

That makes sense. I don't think Osu! needs any more than 2 cores.

osu! DOES use 2 cores I believe, but why is it making them going near 100%? This is a new issue for me.

Is the system not running smoothly when playing the game?

It runs perfectly fine, but has this weird 5 second lag spike after playing a beatmap. (a beatmap is like a level/stage in osu!)

Not even sure, some old CPU fan which I got with my Desktop 5 years ago.

What are your temps? What was your usage before the overclock? If you are using the stock cooler you shouldn't be overclocking. You might be throttling.

Well that takes throttling out. If you return back to stock is the usage back to normal? And honestly I don't see what the real issue is. Are you just wondering why the usage is higher than it was before? I honestly wouldn't worry about it unless you start to experience stuttering or blue screening. Your cpu is fine.
