I got a K6-2+ 550MHz in a Super socket 7 pcb (Soltek SL-54U5) that doesn't want to post if I set it at normal 2.0V but works with 2.1V. Is it safe to run it at this voltage?

Yes.
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
Should be, but anything above will definitely not be safe.
This is quite normal for these CPUs.
Yeah, mine doesn't work at 2.0V either. I wonder if AMD under-rated them all, or if they're just really intolerant of variance at 2.0V?

Funny thing: I had to set my motheboard to 2.5V in order to get K6-III+ 450MHz run. With 2.1V I was stuck at POST, with 2.3V I managed to boot to Windows, only to be welcomed by BSOD 😀 But I guess this was some kind of error caused by cheap and low quality PC Chips M577 motherboard , and the actual voltage delivered by MB was lower than what was set by jumpers...
I have a couple of K6-2+ 550 CPUs that run happily even at 600 MHz with 2.1V vcore. 😄
To set it to 600 MHz, use the 2x multiplier setting on your board, which translates to 6x internally in the CPU.
