I don't think that 190-195 read out is Celsius. If it was then that translates to 374 - 383 Fahrenheit. Which is crazy hot and your engine would be toast.

Your gauge is F and 190 - 195 is not overly hot. It translates to 88 - 91 C. My fans kick in about 195 or slightly higher.

The temp gauge is very inaccurate past 180
Using the app Torque, my fans come on around 212-215 F
On the gauge that is just creeping past the '8'
At 180 on the gauge, the temp is 179 - 183 on Torque
