    Still almost normal.

    Should be like 212 and 226 for the fans on temps with off temps are 207/223 or somthing very close.

    It's not over heating by any means at 210-220ยบ just sitting still.

    I wouldn't just start throwing money at it but you may have coolant flow problems.

    A weak pump, really old coolant, partially blocked radiator. Also if you've never cleaned out the fins on the radiator that would be a good idea, tons of debris could be hurting it's ability to remove heat from the coolant.

    Again those temps aren't bad as it's not overheating but maybe some things could be looked at.
