Default Alternator belt screeching

I changed my alternator last year to a 350 amp single wire unit and I have noticed that if my temp goes to 200 degrees or more despite that my fans immediately kick on the belt of my alt screeches.

Not until it goes down to 180 degrees it quiets down. I used belt dressing but I was told that it could be too aggressive that the belt can come off.

My belt has the inner teeth and fits perfectly in the pulley. Any thoughts?
Sincerely
Lou
