NVIDIA nForce chips implement two SMBus controllers, master
and slave.

Either because they don't have temperature sensors attached
to SMBus, or most likely these sensor chips are not known
to mbmon.  mbmon is not actively developed nowadays.  The
lm-sensors project should be considered for adoptation if
you want to add support for newer sensor/SMBus chips.
