Temp guage problem

Whenever my car is in higher rmps, about 5k up the temp gauge drops. Anyone might know what the problem is. Thanks.

does it drop to the bottom or just a little, when the engine revs the flow of coolant is faster in return cooler may be normal if it drops all the way change the single wire coolant temp sensor located next to the thermostat housing with a OEM sensor aftermarket sensors are not reliable and cost is not much different

Goes all the way down to C. It seems to only to it when the rpms are high.

Change the thermostat and I think it will fix the problem

That's a rapid drop. No way will coolant chill that much that quickly. I would look for a poor wiring connection or connector.
