Can you include what this "nothing" looks like exactly? If that's all
zeroes, the chip is there but unused. If that's nothing at all, it
suggests that your version of libsensors is too old. Support for the
W83627DHG was added in lm-sensors 2.10.2.

Some boards don't use the integrated monitoring features of the
Super-I/O, if the manufacturer prefers to add a dedicated monitoring
chip on the SMBus. sensors-detect should tell. If that's a recent
board, you need a recent version of sensors-detect:
