One of the I2C buses on your nVidia graphics adapter is hosed and added
a lot of noise to sensors-detect. Try again but say N when asked to
probe the "NVIDIA i2c adapter" buses, you'll get a much more readable
output.

True, but you don't actually have these chips anyway (see above.)

You don't have the latter either, only the former. Do not load the
max6650 driver.

The important line you missed in the output of sensors-detect is:
Probing for `Fintek F75373S/SG'... Success!
(confidence 7, driver `to-be-written')
This is your primary hardware monitoring chip. Your missing fan speeds
and temperatures are certainly there. By now, a driver for this chip
has been written by Riku Voipio (Cc'd). It is available in the upstream
kernel in 2.6.24-rc. You'll have to upgrade to the latest kernel, or
backport the driver to your 2.6.22 kernel.
