I am not sure why this is happening, but a core scales itself completely down when I am playing Civ V causing a huge performance drop. The screenshot shows it best, you can see all the monitors at the bottom which seems to indicate that their is no actual overheating.

I could be wrong about this though. I haven't got manual fan control working yet (sensors doesn't see fans), so you can tell me if you think that is necessary to fix first.
This is a Dell Studio 1440. I have tried solving this problem by installing i8k and cpufreq. This seems to have made my computer be cooler, just by feeling it, but hasn't solved the problem. These are the two important lines in /etc/rc.conf
MODULES=(lib80211 wl !b43 !ssb !pcspkr !snd-pcsp "i8k force=1" acpi-cpufreq vboxdrv)
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng !network netfs @crond alsa dbus hal networkmanager i8kmon sensors)
Any suggestions?
Finally, this is the output of running Civ V through Steam in case my configuration of this is actually the problem. In my opinion this probably isn't the problem, since my roommate has this running fine on Arch on this computer. I am running Civ V on the minimal settings.

Thanks. I tried the boot option but that didn't help. It seems I don't have that problem, even though it definitely looked similar. cpufreq-info actually always reports that my cpu is always at 2.20GHz (it's max). That fix is for if the cpu actually scales down. I'm not sure what is happening if my cpu frequency is still at it's max but not doing anything (I had the governor set to performance).
