Brilliant :)

I don't know what the two temps are. Normally, they are CPU and 
system/motherboard, but I'm not sure which is which.

 From the module source code, you may find the following useful:

/* ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  * Registers
  *
  * The sensors are defined as follows.
  *
  * Sensor          Voltage Mode   Temp Mode   Notes (from the datasheet)
  * --------        ------------   ---------   --------------------------
  * Reading 1                      temp1       Intel thermal diode
  * Reading 3                      temp2       Internal thermal diode
  * UCH1/Reading2   in0            temp3       NTC type thermistor
  * UCH2            in1            temp4       +2.5V
  * UCH3            in2            temp5       VccP
  * UCH4            in3            temp6       +5V
  * UCH5            in4            temp7       +12V
  * 3.3V            in5                        Internal VDD (+3.3V)
  *
  * --------------------------------------------------------------------- */

Looks like you'll now need to configure the voltages in 
/etc/sensors.conf. The lm_sensors mailing list is normally very helpful 
for that so I'd recommending searching their archives and asking there.

Thanks for reporting back that it works. If you don't experience any 
issues in the next day or so, I'll push it out from testing to the main 
elrepo repository.
