Default temperature rises as car gets faster

As the topic says, the engine temp on my car gets hotter when i go faster on my car. Anywhere below 75mph my car is running at normal temperature, but when i go higher than that it gets to the point where its almost going to overheat but it doesn't.

I have recently flushed my radiator and I have swapped out a new thermostat already. Can you guys enlighten mean on what else can be the cause of this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

could be a faulty waterpump, as the engine revs higher the impeller could be slipping or vibrating decresing flow. Also could be the radiator could be clogged a little or may be losing pressure. Presure would normally be all the time but who knows. Run a pressure leak test. Then check your water pump.

I had this very same problem, and it turned out to be my raidiator. It may not be your problem, but you might want to swap raidiators with a friend for a sec to see if thats really the problem. I know you said that you just had it flushed, but you never know...

Other then that all I can think is that it could b the waterpump or head gasket...

Good Luck!

Thanks for the help guys. I'll go get a compression test and maybe i'll try to swap a radiator with my friend and see if thats the problem.
