Sometimes those fancy electric fans dan't do what their advertised to do... do you have them in a shroud or just attached to the radiator?

I run an old fashioned thermal clutch fan. Can't remember if it's 6 or 7 blade, whatever was stock for A/C trucks.
And sometimes those fancy electric fans actually do as they were designed to do...keep an engine at the proper running temperature regardless of the outside temp. Here in the desert there are usually more than 30 days with temps above 105. A/C is a must and my fancy electric fans keep my engine cool while idling in city traffic with the air on when the temps are 115.
