Sensor names don't go into the library. The only place where you give
names to the sensors is in sensors.conf. As you're writing a dedicated
configuration file for your motherboard, you are free to choose
whatever names you like. You can look at other configuration files for
examples (etc/sensors.conf.eg or the ones in the wiki on
lm-sensors.org.)

Be careful when trying this. Electronic components don't like abrupt
temperature changes, so make sure that the air coming out of the
hair-dryer isn't too hot. If it's too hot, you'll need to find a way to
mix it with fresher air, or you might damage your hardware.
