Thanks, that thread explains alot.  So the trick was to use 2 LM90s.
Gigabyte making easy things hard.

At least now I understand it just won't work and the ticket database is
updated to that fact as well.  From some of the previous entries, it almost
seemed like CPU temps were working for this board, but I think those users
were fooled by the bogus W83627HF temp readings.  Actually, those temp
readings probably are from the CPU sockets, but obviously those readings
aren't nearly as desirable as getting a temp directly from the CPU itself
via the LM90s.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.
