fan will maintain but not drop the temp

I Hooked up my Csi fan controller Gauge. Now I know exactly what temp the motor is running and what temp the fan will turn on. One problem is the fan will not drop the temp at all it will just maintain the temp and slowly let the car heat up. I didnt put the fan or radiatior on the guy befor me did. Its just a single fan with, with a 3 core radiator. What should I change to make it where it will drop the temp>

What kind of fan do you have? It may be too small or worn out. Is the radiator clean(inside and out)? 50/50 antifreeze. What temp do you want to keep it at? How much timing are you running? Is this problem at idle or down the highway?
