What you would need is to load the i2c-i801 driver to connect to the SMBus (i2 bus), and the w83795 driver to access the W83795AG chip. > > Power Supply Failure, GP31(From W83527HG) 1 = Good, 0 = Bad > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > I found mention of this on the List Archive [2]. > > I also found the configuration settings for a SuperMicro H8DC8 with a > WinBond W83627HF.

The reason that you can not see the w83795 in the output of the 'sensors' command is that the memory space for accessing the i2c controller (i2c-i801 driver) is reserved by ACPI. You can override that, and connect to the controller anyway, but then you risk the above mentioned crashes. You would have to disable the BMC (if that is possible) if you want to access the chip through lm-sensors.
