Check hoses to see if at higher rpm hose isn't restricting and cutting coolant flow.

Any time you have a temperature problem go though the Basics, is it good coolant topped off and at a proper mix too weak (watery)a running car at Highway speed can freeze Radiator in cold enough areas.
The front of Radiator is it clear of debris this includes the gap between AC & Radiator and of course the Thermostat isn't stuck.
