When your system encounters an issue within SMC, SMC will push the system into CPU safe mode! Basically ramping up the fan and lower the CPU’s clocking which is what you are seeing with the kernel_task going to 900% !!
This is to protect your system from over heating and is an expected reaction.

At this point your logic board has a problem with one of the sensors voltage sense lines. This really requires someone with deep skills working on 2013 Mac Pro’s to fix your logic board which is a rare skill set. I own one and even I don’t go this deep. I would recommend you visit an Apple Store let them fix it as they have access to the parts.
