The high pressure switch on the back of the compressor? It is supposed to open at 440 psi, have you installed a gauge set to determine what the hi and low side pressures are. If it is getting to hot, the question is why? The fan should be capable of keeping airflow across the condenser, to keep the pressure within limits.
