I have an Asus P5A-B ref 1.04 motherboard with the processor on the picture below, AMD K6 2+ 500 MHZ. I am trying to overclock this processor but I don't get it stable. Can I operate this processor safe on more than 2,1 V, e.g. on 2,2 V to get the system stable?

Hmm... the CPU on the photo is regular K6-2 500MHz with voltage of 2.2V. Usually you can overclock by 10-20% with additional or more powerful cooling.

Sorry for the wrong image. I have now added the right ones

2.2V should be fine with better cooling.
