There's nothing wrong with running old hardware :)

This alone is usually a good hint that the VIA686A/B integrated sensors
aren't used on the board.

The A7M266, as most Asus board at the time, is using an Asus-specific
ASIC for hardware monitoring, rather than the sensors integrated in the
south bridge. In your case, that would be an AS99127F, so you should
load the w83781d driver rather than the via686a driver. sensors-detect
should have told you exactly this, BTW. If it did not, please send the
full output of sensors-detect for analysis.
