1) Check the strength of your coolant; flush and fill with proper mixture
if you haven't done it recently.
2) Besides inspecting the hoses for pinhole leaks, loose clamps (you have
to retighten 'em about a week after installation) and what-have-you, see
if the radiator cap holds its pressure, too.
3) Temperature senders exist in different heat ranges; maybe yours is the
wrong range, mismatched for the gauge. If the other stuff checks out,
perhaps you could swap in a mechanical gauge and see if you really have
a problem.
