[lm-sensors] ridicolous sensors output?

That's a bit old, see below.

OK, that's your hardware monitoring chip. sensors-detect thinks there
is no driver for it, but by now, there is. Try:
  rmmod w83627hf
  modprobe i2c-i801
  modprobe w83792d
And sensors output should be better.

However, user-space support for that chip was just added in lm_sensors
2.9.1 and many bugs have been fixed since, so you are invited to update
lm_sensors to a later version for better results.
