Likewise here. New 3 core radiator from Toby & John's fan upgrade, my
temperature is identical to yours in all conditions. Sitting in stop &
go traffic, 105 degrees outside with the A/C on full blast and the
needle never goes near the halfway mark on the gauge. Sits just above
1/4 most of the time and goes up only slightly in the above
conditions.

I also see no reason for a fan modules or circuit upgrades; John's
fans draw a fraction of the power the original setup did. They're also
extremely quiet. Compared to $200 for a Zilla plus who knows how much
to replace the stock fans when they die, I feel I made the right
decision.
