Looks like you don't fully understand how things work. Neither i2c-nforce2 nor
i2c-amd756 are enough to monitor your system. They are *bus* drivers, required
for *chipset* drivers to "plug" on. It is normal that sensors doesn't return
anything if only a bus driver, but no chip driver, is loaded.

What's more, contrary to what you seem to think, there is a driver for the
nforce2, providing you use a recent enough version of lm_sensors. Our
sensors-detect script should detect it, load the module if needed, and then
proceed to the chipsets detection.

If you're still confused, you may provide a complete log of your sensors-detect
run, so that we better understand what happens.
