yes that code is now very old

For newer versions have a look at the code by Hans ten Goede for lm-sensors
see the thread here
http://forum.abit-usa.com/showthread.php?t=80051&page=7
I have not updated the plugin myself as I still use the same AG8 MB 
unfortunately

Somewhere in that same forum there are also instructions via group 
permissions to enable the plugin to rin as non-root
