The motherboard in question is a Gigabyte A75M-D2H. 1) Dig deep into the lm-sensors documentation. 2) Remove everything from config file that does not belong to your mobo chip (according to docs that shouldn't be necessary, but I've had bad screwups with the config file parsing). 3) Take wild guesses at dividers, scalers and offsets for each value in the config file. 4) Compare with BIOS displayed values at low/med/high temperature and fan speed for each value. 5) Repeat from 3) until blue in face. Obviously google for any config file for that mobo. You could also ask on the mailing list for tips, but take anything you get as a bonus. It's not that they don't want to help, but they can't. The problem is that as long as mobo manufacturers treat this as a "who cares, our mickeysoft driver displays it fine" you're stuffed.
