You say it's not over heating & yet you also say the fan is on pretty much all the time during hot weather. To me that's overheating & 5 mins from cold seems a tad quick for it to reach temperature. From cold turn on the engine & it should take about 10 mins for the rad to get warmish at the top. For me it takes at least 15mins tickover from cold before the fan comes on.
To check the thermostat you need to remove it & put it in a pan of water, heat it up & check it's opening at the approriate temperature, which, on the top of my head I don't know, but you could find out easily enough.
