At best a lower temp t-stat. should only be used as a TEMPORARY fix while you track down the actual cause of the overheating issue. I would check to make sure your cooling fan is coming on, the flow rate of the radiator to rule out blockage and the water pump to make sure it is circulating the coolant.
