So couple of days ago I got a Gainward Geforce GTX 780 ti.
I didn't notice any issues the first day, but I didn't really try much gaming either.
Next day I run up Skyrim. The next thing that happens as soon as I stare at the Menu screen, I hear a loud whiiiiiiiiiiiiiizzzz kind of sound coming from the case. Turns out it's the fan on my 780 ti that's somehow turning on some kind of turbo. Soon as I noticed that I closed Skyrim, and it quieted down. First thing I did was launch MSI afterburner and monitor what the h- was going on, and it turned out that the temperature was increasing at a rapid rate, like 1-2 degrees every second.
I also noticed that it seemed to be tied to my games framerate, in the Menu screen I had along 800-1000 frames per second, and that was when the whizzing noise was at it's worst. As soon as I launched the game and it ran at 60-70 FPS, the card seemed to cool down and run like normal.
I thought it was an issue with Skyrim at first, but I noticed that the same thing happened once I tried to open Warframe. In the menu screen I get the insane whizzing noise and the FPS lies around 700-800 in that game at the login screen, and again the temperature is increasing at an alarming rate, and so was the fan's RPM, increasing steadily with the temperature. I stopped when the temperatures reached 70 degrees celsius and the RPM hit 1900, I don't dare press it more than that as I am not quite sure how much heat a graphics card can take.
I asked about this elsewhere and I was told it could have something to do with my card
Now this was coming from one guy, now I am not going to call this person a liar, but personally I am fairly ignorant when it comes to this kind of stuff, so I was hoping to get more opinions on the subject before I make a decision.
EDIT:
I should probably mention that I have a Corsair TX 750W PSU... Not sure why though, as I don't think a lack of power is the issue.

I was told. He also suggested I contact the vendor.
