How do I Install k10temp?

[Penguin Guy]

1. Make a new directory and open it:
   

   mkdir -p 'k10temp'
   cd 'k10temp'

2. Download the file as k10temp.c:
   

   wget -O 'k10temp.c' 'http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/attachments/20080718/d51be536/attachment.bin'

3. Create a makefile:
   

   echo 'obj-m := k10temp.o
   KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
   PWD := $(shell pwd)
   default:
   $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules' > Makefile

4. Download the Linux headers (you may need to specify the version):
   

   sudo apt-get install linux-headers

5. Run the make file:
   

   sudo make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd) modules

6. Temporarily add the k10temp module:
   

   sudo insmod k10temp.ko

7. Test if the sensors work (do not continue if the sensors do not work):
   

   sensors

8. Permanently add the k10temp module:
   

   sudo cp k10temp.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/hwmon

9. Rebuild modules.dep file:
   

   sudo depmod

10. Do some modprobing stuff:
    

    sudo modprobe k10temp

11. Add k10temp to the startup list:
    

    echo 'k10temp' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules >/dev/null

12. Restart your computer.
13. Test if the sensors work:
    

    sensors

Original Question:
----------------------------------------

I'm trying to get my fans to adjust their speed according to the temperature in my computer. I followed a guide and installed lm-senesors, but when I ran it (and after answering yes to all the questions) I receive this output:

#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
# no driver for AMD K10 thermal sensors yet
#----cut here----

But I can see a lot about k10temp 'patches' on the internet, I was wondering if installing one of these will get the sensor working and if so, how I can actually install the patch. I'm asking because I don't know much about any of this and would rather not have my CPU melt because of some stupid mistake I made with the fan driver.
