If it isn't your fan then you could have a clog somewhere keeping the fluid from flowing completely. Turn the car on and squeeze all your coolant hoses to make sure they all have good solid pressure in them. If one of them gives more and easier than the others then you have a clog and fluid isn't flowing through it.

That is also another issue. Make sure that you have no air pockets in the system.

let the car sit and idle, don't let it overheat, feel the houses if they feel really hard, good chance your thermostate is stuck ... replace it, let it idle see if it still heats up ... i mean a thermostat is only around $10 and about 15min of your time ..
