There is no need for one mate, a CVH should sit around 90 degree's once up to temperature, if you get a 86 degree switch your fan will just be on all the time, the stock temperature is fine.

Karlos is right, you don't need a lower temp switch really. If you are really worried, fit a standard one from a Series 1, it rated lower than the Series 2.
