When the car is not moving your fan will come on. With no air moving past the radiator the engine will heat up no matter how cool the thermostat is or how big the radiator is. I think the actual computer setting is 215 without the AC on.

It's around 215-220 degrees. Run the car on MAX A/C to see if the high side fan comes on.
