Dumb question - did you configure lmsensors for your motherboard? 
There are different configurations for different motherboards - the 
config file lists the more common ones. I am not sure if it is in 
the config file, or the documentation, but there is a web site with 
more configurations.

Also, if there a section in your BIOS that lets you check the 
values? That should give you a ballpark figure to let you know if 
your setup is close to what it should be. Your readings are not in 
range for any of the temperatures. Some of the voltage readings are 
way off as well.
