Before you go with fan control, you must ensure that hardware monitoring itself is properly setup. > This is on Centos 6.5 with an unchanged kernel (2.6.32-431, 64 bit).

I'm afraid your kernel is simply too old for your hardware, unless Centos backported support for newer hwmon devices. Actually for Centos you may be lucky and be able to use Phil Perry's kmods. Check out at: http://elrepo.org/tiki/Packages#K I see kmod-k10temp and kmod-it87, which are what your board needs. Give it a try. I've added Phil in Cc, hopefully he can drive from here if things don't work out of the box.
