As long as your engine coolant temperatures do not raise too much when sitting stand-still with the engine running or moving in very slow traffic I don't think it really makes sense.

I'm not talking about setting in the 80-90C range Like mentioned in "Abilor's Tuning Guide" as that would have the fans on a huge amount of the time. My set point would be about 94C.

Basically I want the fans to kick in earlier for Summer.It is already 34C outside.
