To each their own but if Porsche deemed "half on the gauge" (~105C) unhealthy then they wouldn't have made that temperature be the middle of the guage, would they?
I had trombones with half crushed oil lines, and it would easily reach the halfway mark while stuck in traffic on a summer day. Now I have a 28 tube brass cooler but when there is no airflow (i.e. stuck in traffic) the temp will still creep up. All "radiators" need airflow to do their job as thermal radiation is not a very effective way of heat transfer in our environment. I cut a hole on the valance just to the outboard of the fog light mounting holes and as soon as I get moving, the temps will drop back down to just above the first white mark. I'll probably put a fan on my brass cooler before next summer just so I can minimize heat build up in traffic.
Good luck!
