Getting more out of lm_sensors


I am running RHEL 6.4 on a Dell Precision T5500. I have recently installed lm_sensors for hardware monitoring. Right now I am only getting temperatures from the two processors. I was hoping to be able to get information about fan speeds and voltage as well.

The lm_sensors page lists the coretemp driver as the one I need for the processors but then basically says my chipset (Intel 5520) doesn't have a compatible driver yet (http://lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices). Looking at this I would think maybe temps are all I'm going to get. But when I do a dmidecode, I get status information for multiple fans and voltage probes. They aren't detailed readings just status OK. Is there something I'm missing with my installation and configuration of lm_sensors or are temps all I can get? Thanks for your help!

Kernel modules would be the obvious possible missing thing.
