Huu, no, it doesn't go into /etc/sensors3.conf...

... and presumably not into /etc/modules either, although I am no
Debian specialist.

Add the following line to either /etc/modprobe.conf or any file under
directory /etc/modprobe.d:

options it87 force_id=0x8718

Then cycle the it87 driver (rmmod it87 && modprobe it87). This should
do the trick.
