I've found that on quite a few modern systems the ACPI platform advertises some
useless thermal zones, which always return some hardcoded temperatures.
E.g. I have Asus P8Z77-M PRO near me and it also reports two thermal zones.
Looking at DSDT (acpidump -dt) I see that the temperatures are hardcoded.
It seems that your motherboard has an ITE Super I/O with hardware monitoring
function. I am not sure which model though...
Your best bet would be it(4) driver, but it is not committed yet.
If you are into some mild hacking (applying patches, building custom kernel),
then I can point you to the patches.
Although I can not give a firm guarantee that the driver supports your HWM chip,
since I don't know the model.

These tools from ports are very outdated and thus do not support new hardware.
