You may have to adjust settings in /etc/sensors.conf, depending on the
sensors chip the motherboard has. It is too a good idea to read about
the sensors chip and its support by lm_sensors on the project's website.
Sometimes the chip manufacturer does not provide information about the
hardware, so that reverse engineering has been done.
