I replaced 2 radiators in 18months, the water pump and thermostat. I'm still running hot, and I have pipes around engine freezing. Could the thermostat have gone bad? no leaks are visible.

What caused the radiators to go? What is the pipes around the engine freezing? Does the car use up the coolant? In other words, does it disappear?

The car should not be overheating if there is enough fluid in the system. If the level falls and you are adding it is not leaking then the car is burning it and you have a bad head gasket. Have you crossed the thought of a collapsed hose?
