Generally speaking, unless the thermostat is defective or incorrectly installed, changing it to a lower temperature one will not affect an overheating problem. If your engine is running a bit hot at 110c it does not matter if your thermostat opened at a more correct 90c or cooler 70c one. Some folks have been fooled into thinking a cooler thermostat helped them but it's normally that they have removed one that was faulty and anything would have worked better.

So yes, changing the thermostat to another CORRECT one might help but no need to change to a different temperature one.
