Max temps for oil and coolant?

I'm tweaking my Torque display and have come across a few discrepancies regarding fluid temps.

I did a short drive around and have these temps (it's 60F to 70F here):

Oil Temp: 208.4F
Coolant: 192.2F
Intake: 89.6F

I've searched the forum and read that operating temperature is 90C = 194F, and have also read that common spirited driving oil temps are 215F - 230F.

The Perrin oil cooler states the engine is happiest at 85-90C (185F-194F), but then I've also read it's good for the oil to get hotter to boil any water out. So 100C is not bad?

Thoughts?
