My radiator fans comes on earlier than that...

My box's temp almost is as high as that ONLY when I'm pushing it very very hard going up a mountain, but like I mentioned, I have a low temp thermostat. I usually back off when the temp gets that high.

When I'm pushing it on the highway >200kmh, it'll go up to about 90 C or slightly more.

I wish the temp was more stable and close to the 80 mark hence I'm comtemplating retro fitting the 3rd radiator.

I think the temp in Toronto would be cooler than in Singapore / Malaysia, except for the one or two super hot weeks in summer.... (I lived in waterloo, ont for 4 yrs).
