Ideal Temperatures??

Ideally what are the average temperatures your devices should be running at?

For example, hard drives, cpu, PSU, graphics card?

It's just that I am using the Akasa Fan Pro with temperature probes & want to make sure I have plenty of ventilation in my system?

it depends on your cooling solution, any overclock applied, and whether the system is idle or under load. having said that - for air-cooling, idle for quads seems to fall into the 40-45 range, with load temps 60-65C or more.
Quads do run hot - but they're also built for higher temps than their dualie counterparts.

[edit]
sorry, you seem to be looking for peripheral temps - no help here then
