Sorry, I forgot to mention that you need to load the i2c-dev kernel
module before running i2cdump. So, the correct sequence now that you
have all the tools installed would be:

rmmod lm78
rmmod w83627ehf
modprobe i2c-dev
isadump 0x295 0x296
i2cdump 1 0x2d b

Well, 10 degrees C is a reasonable temperature change, especially if
the direction of the change correlates with the system load. Maybe an
offset needs to be applied to get the correct temperature. That would
be unusual for a thermistor on a W83627DHG, but we can't rule it out
completely.

In your original post, fan3 was displayed at 1240 with a clock divider
of 8.

How many fan speeds does the BIOS show, and can you match some of the
values with what "sensors" displays? The W83627DHG has 5 fan inputs,
which should be enough for most motherboards, so it would be really
surprising if your northbridge fan is connected to another chip.
