The lm_sensors project doesn't support standards or mainboards, we support actual chips. Try the package and if it doesn't work tell us what chip it is that your mainboard uses for 'sensing' and we will try to support it. Most hardware (chip) manufacturers are very willing to get the docs out to developers like us so their hardware will be supported. Don't let buzzwords from mainboard or computer makers throw you off. ;')
Some of the info on the Gigabyte ACOPS webpage (stated above) is bogus and misleading. I think this setup may use something like the Winbond W83781 in a slightly non-standard arrangement (e.g., connecting the CMOS battery to the -12V and/or -5V inputs, etc.). Could someone look on the mainboard to see what chip(s) is used?
