I have a Optiplex GX620 that I want to write a monitoring app for. Is there an Api or anything available for access the components on the motherboard? I want to monitor the CPU, Memory (if possible), HDD, and Fans. I did not see a app that would let me monitor this system, most of the app said that this model was not supported.
Anyways, Thanks for any help that you can provide.
I'd recommend you post your question on the forum section for Optiplex systems HERE
I don't know about the commercial systems but on many Dell consumer models there are no provisions for CPU temperature monitoring and an external monitor with a probe must be used.

SpeedFan (free) will tell you the HDD temp, but it can't control the fan speeds, and probably won't read the CPU temps.
