Electric fan seems to run too much

She was running a bit hot so I checked the mech fan and it was shot so i replaced it and the temps are to be lower now (175-180 vs into the 190s before) but the electric fan still seems to be coming on alot and early...do i have a sensor failing? I would guess that they would be designed to turn the fan ON when failing vs the alternate...

And yes i did search...

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy
Sh*t . . . what a ride!"
