Oops, yes, of course you're right.

So it appears to work OK. Thanks for testing and reporting, I'll
prepare and submit a patch adding support permanently for the MCP61 to
the i2c-nforce2 driver. I'll also include the MCP65, as I'd be very
surprised that the MCP61 and MCP65 are different in that respect.

That being said, there are no sensors on the SMBus, only one EEPROM. If
there are sensors on your system, they have to be somewhere else, maybe
in the Super-I/O chip. Did you try running a recent version of
sensors-detect already? What did it find?
