Aida64 on windows show MCP (a southbridge-like chip) temperature as 50C.
Lm-sensors doesn't show it at all.

My motherboard is an Asrock k8nf6g-vsta. Here's what sensors shows:

I'm using Lubuntu 14.04 with sensors version 3.3.4.

Here's the sensors-detect output:

"Driver `w83627ehf':
* ISA bus, address 0x290
Chip `Winbond W83627EHF/EF/EHG/EG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

Driver `k8temp' (autoloaded):
* Chip `AMD K8 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)"

And /etc/modules:

"w83627ehf"

I would suggest that one of the three temp* temperatures shown in the sensors is your "MCP" temperature. lm-sensors isn't very good at labelling things. It just stacks the I²C monitoring interfaces up as it finds them.

But short of holding a blow-torch to your MCP and watching the output, I'm not sure how to confirm that one way or the other.

For graphics cards I have had limited success with lmsensors in the past. What I find works really well is nvidia-smi (from a package of the same name). This might not work for integrated chipsets very well but here's what I see on a discrete card:

$ nvidia-smi
