Default Settings for Cooling Fans On/Off and Temps

Hi, I was just wondering if someone can give me some feed back on when to turn on/off the cooling fans and at what temps?

Like fan 1 on at what temperature and off at what?
And what fan 2 on when and off when ?

I will be using a 180 thermostat.
I have a Hand held predator to do this.

Thanks!

Here's what im running:

Fan 1 On: 199
Fan 1 Off: 190
Fan 2 On: 209
Fan 2 Off: 200

I dont like to run the motor too cool. These settings have done me well with a stock 187* thermo.

I just took out 20 deg F from all the settings

Fan 1 On: 206
Fan 1 Off: 199
Fan 2 On: 214
Fan 2 Off: 207

These settings seem to work good for me.
