I don't think so ...

at 0x18 it's usually a temp sensor found on memory modules, see sdtemp(4).
at 0x30 it's the write only access for the memory module.
at 0x50 it's the memory module handled by spdmem(4).

If you have a IPMI device, other temperatures are often available
there with other sensors.
