Alarms are computed by the chips in hardware. "sensors" merely reports
what the driver tells it to, and the driver in turn merely reports the
hardware state.

It is interesting that you have two full-featured hardware monitoring
chips in your system. I'm rather surprised, I admit.

I'll look at the dump you sent when I have a moment, but I have a lot
of work these days, so please be patient.
