ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe evidently uses another IO chip (or e newer revision) and on my lab's i386 ASUS P800 system I have the same problem, neither ACPI, smbus nor anything else seems to work or obtain temperature/fan speed. It's funny, on those boxes xmbmon/mbmon worked fine I also saw ACPI thermal zones and fan speed (expecially my older ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe).
