Not only the temperature readings are missing, but you also don't have any fan speed reported, and many voltages seem to be wrong, too. Super-I/O chips have many functions, hardware monitoring is only one of them, so it happens that manufacturers use such chips on their motherboards but are not interested by the hardware monitoring features and do not wire them. Is this board advertised as having hardware monitoring capabilities? Do you see temperatures or fan speeds in the BIOS setup screens? -- Jean Delvare
