Im not an expert but I dont think your fans should come on before around 195 area. You want the car to reach normal operating temps at least and you dont want to fry the fan harness.

A couple of comments...there is only ONE fan in the C6 and second comment, if you are running the AC that fan will be on! People often forget that a second table exists tied to AC temps.
What speed the fan runs at what temps is completely tied to how your tuner set it up.

I'm GLAD this post was created !!!
Here's MY SETUP....
2008 coupe (base), stock - other than the VORTECH V3, SI on my car along with my BB FUSIONS !!
When I GET INTO IT...( taking her up to 170 or so...) my OIL temps rose to 256 degrees. The WATER TEMP was sorta stable around 215 or below...
I have the STOCK therm in it...
the day was about 100 degrees outside - high humidity.
What can I do about these OIL TEMPS ??? any suggestions.
THANKs
