Check your radiator cap and make sure that your electric fan is running.

Serpentine belt split twice? That's wrong. Is it definitely threaded correctly? it might be turning the water pump the wrong way! A new one should not split, obviously.

Is the fan coming on at operating temperature, if not there is a sensor to replace, have you replaced the thermostat.

Yes you say you replace thermostat, when reaching operating temperature the fan should come on to cool the engine.
