What about using SMBus? Is it available on your system? xmbmon reads
temperatures off the SMBus IIRC.

I tried that, unfortunately it does not work. All i want to know is if
this a shortcoming of freebsd or the motherboard, if its the later, i
will contact the manufacturer.

Could you please try (if you have a working smb device)

# smbmsg -p
