Are you sure you don't have another underlying issue? I'd start there before you hardware your fan

How do you know it's not the radiator? Under what conditions is it running hot? When was the last time the coolant was changed? Water pump? Give us some info. Putting the fan on a switch doesn't solve anything.

how is your fan clutch?
there are many units to a cooling system, not just a rad and thermostat.

one of these units is failing to operate at spec.
