I seem to have my hardware sensors up and working with kernel 2.6.12.2
I can get my CPU and MB temperatures, as well as fan speeds for my CPU and my case fan.
The PSU fan does not report a value, however, and `sensors` reports it running at 0.

The sensor works in windows, and I know it to be running at about 780RPMs.

`sensors` reports
Code:
w83627thf-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore:     +2.99 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +3.84 V)             
+12V:     +12.16 V  (min =  +4.86 V, max =  +4.56 V)             
+3.3V:     +1.52 V  (min =  +0.75 V, max =  +3.26 V)             
+5V:       +4.99 V  (min =  +6.77 V, max =  +2.13 V)             
-12V:      +1.29 V  (min =  -5.78 V, max = -13.35 V)             
V5SB:      +5.00 V  (min =  +3.23 V, max =  +2.82 V)             
VBat:      +3.14 V  (min =  +2.98 V, max =  +1.68 V)             
fan1:        0 RPM  (min = 7500 RPM, div = 2)                     
CPU Fan:  2947 RPM  (min =   -1 RPM, div = 2)                     
fan3:     1222 RPM  (min =  907 RPM, div = 8)                     
M/B Temp:    +29 C  (high =   +73 C, hyst =   +33 C)   sensor = thermistor           
CPU Temp:  +35.5 C  (high =   +70 C, hyst =   +65 C)   sensor = thermistor           
temp3:      +6.0 C  (high =   +70 C, hyst =   +65 C)   sensor = thermistor           
vid:      +1.150 V  (VRM Version 2.4)
alarms:   
beep_enable:
          Sound alarm disabled

( I know some voltages are off, but I don't care about those at the moment :D )

EDIT - upon switching my CPU and PSU fan connectors around, it seems that it just won't read the PSU fan, and that the port itself is A-OK

Slow fans won't register with a small fan divisor, due to the way the sensor chip measures the rpms. You need to increase it. 2 is ok for 2500+ rpm, 4 for 1300+ rpm, 8 for 650+ rpm. So you want 8. For more info on divisors, look here.

Edit /etc/sensors.conf, and find the section for your sensor chip. In it add that line:
Code:
set fan1_div 8

Then run (as root):
Code:
sensors -s
