well to eliminate the GFX card, remove it and run from the built in GFX only, see if that sound appears again, what cooler are you using on the CPU? AIO system or custom W/C or air?

Corsair h115i pro rgb

Have fun stock graphics and still makes noise

stock graphics and still have a noise, can you locate where the noise is from? does it come from CPU socket?

No top left of the board where shield is covering

sounds like some thing on the board then, best to RMA and get a replacement, you do have the 2 CPU power cables connected?

from what i could see, there isn't a fan like the x399 xtreme version

there is a Gigabyte/Aorus rep on here @GIGA-Man , but should be worth while raising RMA and should have the support from Gigabyte as well if going through reseller

Reject the goods for refund within 14 days, for quickest solution and also to guarantee it won't be replaced with a B-Grade, given that you've only just paid for new. Buy another.

That does not sound correct, so sorry for that. What Danny75 has recommended is well within your consumer writes, if for any reason you don't do this let me know ASAP and I will get it sorted for you ASAP.
