I am unable to overclock my 1080 ti without massive fps drop!?

Hi people. I recently purchased an 1080 ti. Upgraded my PSU to 850 W brozen. At stock clocks i have no issues. Ran the Heaven Benchmark at 1080p with 8x msaa on. I get the exact same results at stock. 140 fps. But if i try to overclock it. Even the slightest. My games crashes after 5 minutes. I added a 75 core clock and 100 to the memory. Within 3 minutes of running the heaven benchmark. My went from 120 to 140 fps to 60 fps on average. I even tried some of the games i own and i was getting 100 fps lower on some of them.

I was tempted to return it but it runs without fault at stock clocks so i will just keep it. 

Why is this happening 

Update:

No matter what, the fps will drop even if i add a 20 core clock increase. Why is this?

    It's because your cooler is good enough and the heat overwhelmed the card making it thermal throttle.

    1080 ti?  that was probably used and abused by a cryptocurrency miner who sold it when it ceased being valuable to him.  my guess would be that it is damaged -- and you'll want to read reviews from back then to see what overclocked speed was achieved with stable results ... maybe you're pushing too hard

    It isn't made to run that fast and is overheating and going into thermal throttling. Increase the cooling and maybe it will.
