ALONG WITH THE OTHER ANSWERS HAVE YOU CHECKED THE BELT TENSION-ER IF IT IS NOT FREE MOVING AND APPLYING THE RIGHT PRESSURE THE BELT COULD BE SLIPPING AS IT WARMS UP . THE HOTTER IT GETS OUTSIDE THE MORE THE SERPENTINE BELT CAN EXPAND

You need to check the quality of your coolant. A coolant
gauge would tell you if your coolant is good. Your thermostate
could be stuck closed.
I would check the coolant temperature sending unit and the thermostat even though you think it works they can be tricky and they are really cheap about ($15).
You have done the high dollars items. Have you check the radator cap for the proper presure. This cap control the temper of the water by lowing the bolling point of the water, Your T Stat could be only open part way. This will cause the engine to get hot. Those items is what I would look at.
