Wrong guess. Sensors-detect with detect all hardware monitoring chips
in the system, as long as it knows about them, and in the case of
I2C/SMBus chips, that it has drivers for the busses.

That being said, I still have to see a systems with two Super-I/O chips.

Well, maybe you would have received more help if you had been following
my instructions when I tried to help you.

Maybe, maybe not. Motherboards, even by the same manufacturer, can be
very different in that matter.
