sensors-detect should have told you to load other drivers. For example, on
my system, sensors-detect says (in the summary):

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modules:

#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
# modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA I2C Device
# modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA I2C Device
# modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA I2C Device
i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
# no driver for Winbond W83L785R yet
eeprom
w83627hf
#----cut here----

See how sensors-detect told me I needed the w83627hf and eeprom modules, as
well as the i2c-isa module. The i2c-* modules are just the communication
layer which must be used in conjuction with (in my case) w83627hf and
eeprom to actually provide information. What is the output of
sensors-detect?
