This whole thread could be answered with a $9 ELM237 OBDII bluetooth adapter and a free app called Torque.

You can then read the temps directly and see when the cooling fans turn on.

There are more expensive and complicated ways to keep tabs on things, but this would be the cheapest/easiest/most accurate way.
