'87 300 E overheating

From what I have seen, this seems to be a common problem on this model.
Please advise what my next step should be. The car quickly gets to 120C and will even whistle from being too hot.
Replaced the thermostat today, idled it in the driveway to see if this solved the problem. Within 5 minutes, it was up to 120C again.
What should I do next? Radiator cap?
The electric fan did kick in~ isn't enough to keep the temp down
