I agree with all of the above :)

No, the 10.74 looks like it might actually be measuring 12V because of the
scaling done in sensors.conf. The best way to create a configfile for a new
motherboard is to first make sensors.conf completely empty, then you will see
the actual voltages as measured by the chip (which might be scaled down from
the actual voltages by external resistors.

An other possible source of information for this is the windows software
if any. If that measures more boltages there are probably more voltages hooked
up if not, well then probably not. Or try asking Jetway.
