Note that these are register "offsets", not voltage biases or the like.

Since your board seems to have plenty of sensor chips one has to expect
that not all inputs are wired (and their readings may be nonsensical).
There's the "ignore" option to fix this.

Sometimes the same voltages are fed into different chips.

Did you search the lm-sensors site with the make of your MB yet?
