It looks like it's my own blunder: I have confused w83_2_627 to w83627 :) and taking into consideration ASRock's documentation my chip is indeed made by Nuvoton and it's currently unsupported - I'm eagerly awaiting patches to be merged. > >> Another question is that hwmon115 detects temperatures and even power >> draw of my Intel Core i5 CPU however sensors-detect doesn't even mention >> this possibility. > > CPU core temperature support could certainly be added to the coretemp > driver.
