Gtx gigabyte 1080 gaming loud whining noise and maxed out on WoW and other games

Hi, recently bought the GTX Gigabyte 1080 gaming along with a brand new system and have just come across the issue of the gpu using 100% of almost everything. Clock speed, gpu usage, power%, fan speed etc. It's as soon as I open up any game the fan just goes to max settings and heats up to about 60-65 degrees within a minute. It also produces a loud whining noise that isn't coming from the fans as I've stopped them from turning and the noise still continues. I've tried removing the graphics card and running it on the CPU integrated graphics and the noise isn't there anymore and the usage of that is at normal levels.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm not not what else to do now.

Thanks
