Bug Description
This may be related to Bug #357766 -- which was fixed in Jaunty.
The problem shows up when running sensors-detect:
Trying family `ITE'... Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8720
In short, it doesn't recognize the chip even though the lm-sensor wiki lists it as supported. I don't know if the cause is the same as for Bug #357766, but perhaps that's a good starting point. I am using a Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P motherboard.

From lm-sensors releases page (http:// dl.lm-sensors. org/lm- sensors/ releases/) :
- karmic version is pretty old (3.0.2, 2008-05-08) and doesn't know about 0x8720
- last release of lm-sensors (3.1.2, 2010-02-02) can detect 0x8720
debian testing & unstable have lm-sensors 3.1.1 (2009-06-21), which should support 0x8720.
So this is a "sync lm-sensors from debian testing" request.
