It's common to have "wacky" readings from lm-sensors until you figure out how everything is hooked up. Just knowing what hardware you have will let you get sensors to talk to it (as you have done), but the motherboard manufacturers have wide latitude in how they hook up the various sensor chips to things that need to be monitored. Some inputs will simply not be connected (likely the problem with your temp3 reading), and some may have non-"standard" divider ratios, be hooked to a different voltage, or otherwise not match the default lm-sensors configuration for that particular sensor chip (likely the problem with your V5SB reading). Ideally, you would create the config file while referencing a schematic of your motherboard, which is not very likely to happen! :) Alternative tactics include tracing some of the signal lines for the sensor readings that seem wacky (ie: the 5VSB reading) to get correct resistor divider values, see if they are connected at all, etc. The place to start, however, is likely with the BIOS setup screen. You can compare what shows up there (ie: which readings appear, and what their values are) with the output from the sensors command. This may be enough to figure out which readings to ignore (likely temp3), and if you need to fudge a divisor ratio on any of the voltage readings.
