hi all,
I am trying to get lm_sensors to work.

Did you run sensors-detect, and if so, which variant of it87 did it detect?
You may want to read this forum thread:

and give the packages from ELRepo a try.

Indeed. The standard it87 driver in 5.4 only supports IT8705F and IT8712F. I backported additional support for IT8716F, IT8718F, IT8720F and IT8726F Super I/O chips into the it87 module in ELRepo (kmod-it87), which will also automatically update lm_sensors as a dependency from the same repo.
I reported this upstream over 18 months ago and it's now scheduled to be fixed in 5.5, maybe.

In the meantime, the ELRepo package has the latest updated driver for this hardware.
