I do put a small hole in the flange of the thermostat to allow air to escape even if it isn't open. 3/32 is probably OK.
If you want the fan(s) to run less you might consider adjusting the on-off temps a bit. Mine come on at around 190 and off about 180.

Engine oil optimum temp and acceptable temp range??
Beer open... go! I have been doing a lot of reading and I can't get a straight answer.
