You need to install the lm_sensors package. Then as root run 
sensors-detect. You will be presented with a list of actions 
in which the default answer is yes. After all the tests are 
run it will list the things you need to do. So, do that and 
post back your results. There are additional tweaks you may 
have to do to get the correct readings. The gnome sensor 
applets will automatically detect the sensor readings. I use 
gkrellim instead of gnome.
