Sensors-detect finds:

Driver `f71882fg' (should be inserted):
   Detects correctly:
   * ISA bus, address 0x600
     Chip `Fintek F71882FG/F71883FG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

Driver `k8temp' (should be inserted):
   Detects correctly:
   * Chip `AMD K8 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)

I don't have the f71882fg driver although I am thinking that is the one I need.

I'm not sure what the k8 does - perhaps you're right - it just doesn't work.
