Good news is that the "new_id" trick worked. Note that it needs to be
done every time you load the i2c-nforce2 driver, so in particular it
won't survive a reboot unless you add the commands in a boot script.

These were probed, but NOT detected. You have a chip here but your
version of sensors-detect doesn't know what it is. Please try the
latest version of sensors-detect, as Brian did:
http://www.lm-sensors.org/browser/lm-sensors/trunk/prog/detect/sensors-detect?format=txt

I wouldn't be surprised if you have the same chip as Brian.

The only new chips which were detected here are SPD EEPROMs, you can
get information from them using the decode-dimms.pl script. These are
not sensors so they won't show in "sensors".
