hmmmmm....agreed that it shouldn't run cold all the time, EVEN if the fan is running all the time, BUT even when (IF!!!) you figure this out, you really should have your fan connected to a thermostatically driven switch. This will ensure that your engine gets to optimum operating temperatures as quickly as possible. I am not an eletrical engineer either, but there is plenty out there on the web that will explain how to wire a thermostatically controlled switch. Go 'google' and see what you can find. If you have no luck finding stuff, let us know.

I have a Spal fan, and their website has a whole bunch of information on thermostatically controlled switches.

Good luck
