To your idea about the extermal fans: ever thought about just getting like 1 12V Molex wall plug like this one and just power a Fan controller like a 5.25" bay controller where you might add temperature sensors aswell? With that you dont have to use a whole big psu to power them.
Not fans, fan controllers come with sensors. Like this for example.
The only information that can be passed through the motherboard fan pins is PWM information (RPMs).
There are some usb temperature sensors, usually for green houses. They don't cost a lot, but it isn't really different from having a real thermometer or a "weather station" near your case. I imagine that they come with their own software though - I don't think that you'll be able to integrate them say to a hwinfo panel.
Judging by your rig though, it's hard to imagine the ambient temperature readings to be really different from inside the case. You don't have any part that actively dissipates heat inside the case, so the temperature readings from the motherboard would be very close to true ambient temperatures. (I think the case temp sensor on the gigabytes is the TMPIN2)
Edit: Yea, that's the one
Thanks! I had to get that poseidon keyboard to go with it haha and here is the fan controller I'm putting in the front... Mixed reviews, but I'm hoping it does OK...
