Why isn't lm-sensors detecting my new CPU temperature?

-

I recently installed an AMD 9800x3d CPU and noticed that MangoHud shows my CPU temperature as 0°C. When I ran the `sensors` command, it didn’t list my CPU temperature at all. I tried running `sensors-detect`, but that didn’t help either. I’ve even removed most of my DKMS modules and recompiled the kernel, but lm-sensors still fails to detect my CPU. Does anyone have an idea of what might be going wrong?

I tried adding the k10temp module to /etc/modules-load.d to load it at boot, but it wasn’t working. Upon checking the journal logs, I found a message saying ‘Module k10temp is deny-listed (by kmod)’. I didn’t set any blacklist for it, so I’m a bit confused on how to resolve this.
