I do agree that an auxiliary fan will help since it would run at a constant speed or one related to the need for cooling without respect to the actual engine RPM.

If you're driving in mixed highway/city conditions with a high thermal load on the engine, when you get off the highway and immediately get stuck in gridlock, engine temperature skyrockets - on the highway, the thermostat was closed because of high engine-compartment air exchange, which is now no longer happening. In this circumstance, opening the thermostat wider, sooner, keeps peak temps down.
Another thing which helps for this is an auxiliary electric fan. -Kle.
