Hmmm, looks to me like you have an old libsensors somewhere which is
getting in the way.  See also FAQ 4.27 here:

It may be that both temp1 AND temp4 are CPU.  This is not uncommon for ASB100
with an Athlon.  But definitely temp3 is bogus and *none* of these are graphics
or HD temps.

BTW if you want HD temps look here:
