I already change the radiator. Replace the fans, thermostat, hoses and still it heats up.

Look in radiator for possible combustion gases. Test your compression on cylinders for possible head gasket failure. Are you losing any coolant and cannot find the source? Any steam coming out exhaust?

Is there any sign of leakage in the water pump weep hole below the thermostat housing?

If not then run a combustion gas test to be sure you are not chasing a head gasket failure.

Sometimes steam comes out of the exhaust and the water reservar overflows.

Run the combustion test, but those are both signs you have a bad head gasket. Gas test would verify it.
