I'll assume that you really mean "Fintek F71882FG".

No, there is no such "website". Each chip is different and each
motherboard is different. Without technical documentation, you have to
guess it all by yourself. You shouldn't trust gkrellm, in this
particular case it is messing everything up completely as far as I can
see. The default sensors.conf file says:
# Voltage
label in0 "3.3V"
label in1 "Vcore"
(...)
label in7 "3VSB"
label in8 "Battery"
# never change the in0, in7 and in8 compute, these are hardwired in the chip!
compute in0 (@ * 2), (@ / 2)
(...)
compute in7 (@ * 2), (@ / 2)
compute in8 (@ * 2), (@ / 2)
So at least these ones do not depend on your specific motherboard
(those brand and model name you didn't tell us, BTW).
For the remaining input voltages (in2, in3, in4, in5 and in6), you
should take a look at what your BIOS prints, that's the best hint you
can get. The F71882FG datasheet suggests a scaling factor of 5.26
(actually 247/47) for +5V and 11.00 (220/20) for +12V. If the
manufacturer followed these recommendations, the raw reading (that you
get with "sensors -c /dev/null" of +12V should be around +1.090V and
the raw reading of +5V should be around +0.951V. This might help you
find out which is which. But again the best way is to compare with what
the BIOS says.
