196 sounds odd i would say around 210?

it needs to be operating temp for the computer to be in closed loop

To be in closed loop it needs to be at 180. I would run it at 195. 210 is running it a little too hot.

I was just setting mine up today. I have the 180 deg stat, and I set the fan to come on at about 190. I didn't drive it yet but it cycled well at an idle.
