What about Intel socket 1156 (i5 & i7) CPU thermal monitoring? [SOLVED

Are there any patches to lm-sensors, or sources to kernel modules out there so that we can have such support?

I googled it about a week ago and did not find anything.

Cant find Core i7 or the Intel P55 / PCH in the Supported Devices List yet. But then again... that list does not look up to date. Because Nehalem should be supported (Intel Core i7 Thermal Monitoring Support), perhaps only S1366 based ones?
It's a bit late here, so i'm keeping my searches brief. Have an i7 860 myself but I've yet to try sensors.
I just know my temps are good over here from testing my rig using Win7.

From what I understand so far, only 1366 CPUs are supported at the moment.

Not 1156 ones.

PS: I also have an i7 860.

My mistake.

It seems that the new 2.6.32 kernel, supports 1156 socket CPUs with its coretemp module, from scratch.

Ooh, I had 2.6.31 running when I last tried to get CPU temps read out. I will try again

[Edit]
The coretemp module cannot find my CPU's diodes, it's unable to access the MSR 0xEE it tells me.
And lm_sensors doesnt have a driver for my SuperIO yet: Fintek F71889FG Super IO Sensors.

So i'm still without.
