I have spent many long hours getting ln-sensors set up, and it appears to working OK, lower fan noise and lower temps except I am concerned about what is real. Take a look at the following and I think you will see what I mean, Also, none of this agrees with what I see in the bios.
# cat rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
#From sensors-detect
#To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:
#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-viapro
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe eeprom
modprobe w83627hf init=0 #Added to test if updates are turned off by lm_sensors
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----cut here----
