You should try to use lm_sensors - there are some success reports
about this board:

http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg29514.html

In fact, most desktop machines do not support access to thermal or fan
information via ACPI (because the code for this is not present in
DSDT); and even if it is supported, the capabilities compared to
lm_sensors are reduced (e.g., most hardware monitoring chips support
voltage monitoring, which is not available through ACPI interfaces).
