    i figured that it would be a good idea to knock down the degrees and still use the general idea of the fan being a backup. It will diffidently get over 80 degrees sitting for a while in Georgia, the fans high speed will kick on at 89 and keep it steady.

    That's what all the m3 guys are doing...? I figured it was right

    What you drinkin tonight regal?

    The M3 guys do it cause they dump the mechanical fan and use only the ‘lectric for cooling.

    hmmm, not so sure i want to go with the 85 degree tstat anymore. $40 over $18 is a big difference in cost.

    Would it be worth it to change to an 85 or would i be fine since i will have the 80/89 degree fan switch?
