Maybe the fan clutch is malfunctioning and staying engaged all the time. You may want to backflush the heater core too. Common problem.

I had this happen a few years ago. The new thermostat was defective. The 2nd one worked. The defect rate for new parts is higher, now that outsourcing has sent them to Asia.
