Are you sure mbmon or healthd won't work?  Forget smbus just try to 
access the status chip directly. e.g. mbmon -p winbond -c 1 or healthd 
-c 1.  I have two (different from yours) ASUS motherboards with VIA 
chipsets and healthd works on both and mbmon only on the newer one, but 
neither needs smbus (and I never managed to get them to work that way 
when I tried briefly).
