The hardware monitoring function in the chip was not activated
by the BIOS. Usually that means that nothing useful is connected
to it. I have seen this on some Supermicro server boards, where
hardware monitoring is handled by an IPMI chip.

Enabling the chip manually from user space is technically possible,
but I would not recommend it, and it would likely not help much (most
likely you would only be able to monitor VBAT and VCC to the chip).
