We study the extreme point process associated to the off-diagonal components in the matrix representation of the Gaussian $\beta$-Ensemble and prove its convergence to Poisson point process as $n\to +\infty$ when the inverse temperature $\beta$ scales with $n$ and tends to $0$. We consider two main high temperature regimes: $\displaystyle{ \beta\ll \frac{ 1}{ n}}$ and $\displaystyle{ n\beta= 2\gamma \geq 0}$. The normalizing sequences are explicitly given in each cases. As a consequence, we estimate the first order asymptotic of the largest eigenvalue of the Gaussian $\beta$-Ensemble.
