My experience is that sensors[-detect] works best for an Intel x86* CPU
with 100% PCI/PCI-e cards, and for some older AMD x86* PCI/PCI-e systems.
Anything else is risky: ISA cards, non-x86* CPU, newer AMD x86*, etc.
For instance, look at the garbage shown by 'sensors' for two recent
systems that I assembled:
