Hi Robelix,
quite often that eventually comes down to broken FW/HW.
The kernel often gets quirks added to handle "just another slightly different 
case".


There isn't much one can do other than:
- reporting to the manufacturer (usually ignored)
- debuggung on your own (or by someone else owning the HW)

The NCT6683 was just added in lm-sensors 2.4 (which is in Bionic), we are at 
3.6 now which might be worth a try. But OTOH there seemed to be no related 
fixes.

The best path usually is to try the very latest software stack on 
not-the-latest HW.
That means you could try installing a much newer Ubuntu which bings newer 
kernel and lm-sensors to see if things work there.
The easiest start would probably be just upgrading to the HWE kernel and hoping 
it might already help.

Step 1 for debugging would be checking the sysfs of the kernel driver:
Read:
=> https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/hwmon/nct6683.rst
=> https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface
And then give it a go, is the sysfs iterface available after loading the kernel 
module?
If not this is a kernel issue and not one in lm-sensors.

** Changed in: lm-sensors (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
