This article documents how to figure out the voltage labels and the
voltage divider ratios:
https://hwmon.wiki.kernel.org/voltagelabelsandscaling
I may be able to help with some of the voltage labels later.

The temperatures are often reported correctly already. In the cases when
the values are clearly bogus, I haven't yet figured out what the problem
can be.

Which sensors? What locations?

That'll be a long read, but you'll need a couple of numbers from the
datasheet, see the article above.

Not sure, perhaps B450-Gaming-ITX-ac.conf.
