Yep, the motherboard manufacturers never document how they have this stuff hooked up. If you have Windows installed as an alternate boot you can often install the manufacturer's monitor program (which you'd think they would get right), and see what it says when running windows, then get some idea of which lm_sensors stuff is which by comparing it. If the "Motherboard Monitor" program has information on your motherboard in its list, that might also tell you how to calibrate things (but I think the author gave up trying to keep up with the impossible task of figuring it all out). To add to the mystery, my VCore reading shows up too low when I'm running the normal kernel, but shows up right (based on comparison with Windows and the BIOS cpu health page), when I'm running the Xen kernel (no idea why :-).
