Loading random drivers isn't going to help. The two interesting
things are:

* What does sensors-detect see? Unidentified chips on the SMBus at
  addresses typically used by monitoring chips (0x2c-0x2f or
  0x48-0x4f)? Or nothing at all? If unidentified chips are seen then
  we need the output of i2cdump for these chips to find out what
  they are.

* What makes you think there are "two other sensor chips" on the
  board? Can you see them physically on the board?
