Air in system. Did you check that? It should have popped up in your search.
Also get your fan running correctly. Bypassing it like that only hides the problem, not fixes it.

Did you happen to fill up the coolant system with just coolant and no water? That will cause the engine to overheat as well.

Did you bleed the system with the heater core opened as well to keep air pockets from the core from sneaking back into your system?
Also, are you sure the coolant is circulating?
If so, check for bubbles in the coolant once the vehicle is up to operating temp and you're POSITIVE you bled all the air out.
If more bubbles keep showing up, you either have a weird hose leak somewhere or you headgasket is toast.
