Default Noisey fan ?

Ive recently replaced my clutch fan with a new a/mkt unit but Ive noticed that it seems to cut in at 100 deg C (halfway on gauge) whereas the old unit (when it was still working) used to cut in at about 2/3 on the gauge.
What temp does other poeples fan cut in at?
Its quite noisey when its cut in , makes loud whooshing sound.

As you know I have the Diesel - my fan cuts in at about 115 - and the only way it gets to anywhere near this temp is in soft soft sand with 35psi in the tyres...

I've been trying to hear it - but never even noticed it so far. Will keep an ear out.
