Ok, after looking around some more -- I should be talking though ipmisensors and not directly communicating with the w83627ehf directly.
it finds the ipmi interface:
Found `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca2... Success!
(confidence 8, driver `ipmisensors')
but then tells me:
Warning: the required module ipmisensors is not currently installed
on your system. If it is built into the kernel then it's OK.
Otherwise, check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for
driver availability.
and I'm using the RHEL 6 released version of lm-sensors:
lm_sensors.x86_64 3.1.1-10.el6 @base
So where do I get ipmisensors? The wiki says I should use ipmitool -- but then how does that integrate?
Thanks,

Hey guys, in response to this email below from Jean,
Can we still use lm_sensors on the winbond IC on the board or should lm_sensors be disabled entirely?
I'm also using an X7SPA-HF and the thermal management goes wonky after a few hours of normal operation.
(temp alarm, fans report erroneous speeds and so forth)
When this started happening, I began to wonder about contention between the IPMI controller onboard and what linux might be trying to do at the same time.
Thanks,

Hello,
Was curious why the max voltage does not show up properly for in4 (VDIMM)
for this X7SPA-HF using lm sensors 3.3.1 or 3.3.2?
On the sensor reading page for IPMI:
VDIMM Normal 1.84 Volts
You should not mix IPMI with native Linux hardware monitoring driver.
There is no mutual exclusion on device access, and havoc can (and will)
happen.
This is with lm_sensors:

Did you run "sensors -s" after changing the configuration file?
