Due to labeling differences, I'm not 100% sure how to match up the 
output values for comparison.  That said, both sensors & oguru give 
"reasonable" values.  The oguru information is much more complete.  With 
sensors: w83627ehf only gives voltage readings; (no valid fan speeds, no 
valid temps), but k8temp seems to give correct temp readings.

Attached is the output from both sensors & oguru run ~2 seconds apart.

I'm happy to continue to help testing, etc.  I'd really like to get this 
board supported as I've deployed 3 into production environments and 
would like to implement automated health monitoring.  Let me know how I 
can help.
