       The probe should go into the water in the radiator.  It sounds like 
you mounted yours on the outside of the radiator.  Not sure we are both talking 
about the same thing here.
       Plus the probe should be at the bottom of the radiator.  The hot water 
coming into the radiator is not what you want to measure.  If the radiator is 
doing its job, the water at the top should be hot.  The water at the bottom 
should be cooler.  If the water at the bottom gets too hot, you need to help 
the radiator work with the fan.  Thus you should be measuring the water 
temperature at the outlet or bottom of the radiator.
