No, as said /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors. sensors-detect can create that
file. It i.e. has following content

# Generated by sensors-detect on Fri Aug  6 19:33:03 2004
MODULE_0=i2c-viapro
MODULE_1=i2c-isa
MODULE_2=lm90
MODULE_3=eeprom
MODULE_4=it87

(I omitted other comment lines.)

Check your motherboard's manual to know which chipset it has and look at
the lm_sensors homepage.

Normally supported.

May have a temp sensor, see

http://www.guzu.net/linux/hddtemp.db

(not listed there). You may test it with

$ smartctl -a /dev/hdX | grep 194
