95C is about 203F. That's pretty standard for a stock FD engine:

79c isn't fully warmed up yet. Cruising at 85-95 is about where you want to be.

80c is a bit on the cool side.

I personally would like the temps between 85C and 90C.

somebody correct me if I am wrong, but i was told that the stock fans don't turn on til 108C. My cruising temp can range anywhere from 92-105C. I think your pretty safe with a temp of 95

You need the Datalogit to change the PFC fan settings.
