Default Operating temperature?

I just got a new radiator put in and im curious what the proper operating temperature is. Using the climatrontic diagnostic code number 49 when the needle is at the halfway point, it fluctuates between 90-95 degrees celsius. Is that right?

i was running at 230 with a blown thermostat and my needle was barely moving above center, but the aux fan was running constantly... changed out the thermostat, don't go higher than 204 now. i don't know c and i'm too lazy to google it haha
