Please install hwinfo if it is not already installed and post the output
of:

hwinfo | grep system.board.product
hwinfo | grep system.board.vendor

Have you tried "sudo sensors -s" yet?  That forces a read
of /etc/sensors3.conf or /etc/sensors.d/sensors3.conf (if it exists) and
sets the limits.  Man sensors has more info.

The lm-sensors web site (http://www.lm-sensors.org/) has lots of chipset
specific config files.  I found one for my chipset and an earlier
version of my MB which seems to work fine with only minor modifications.
