I'd think so... sensors does the best it can, but some motherboards need
tweaks to their sensors.conf file...
I've seen a lot of wild and wacky numbers in sensors.

Is the AMD64 board a tyan, cos if so, you can get a dedicated sensors.conf
from their website for most of their motherboards.
Other manufacturers may do the same.
