K6-III 400 needs 2.4V. TDP is 16W, tops out at 27W.
K6-2+ 500 needs 2V. TDP is 13W, tops out at 16W.
With 2.1V it should be slightly higher, but still better than K6-III. Take a good look at the caps on the board and see if any of them is bulging. If they look in good shape, they usually are fine and you've got nothing to worry. It was only with later CPUs that things got out of hand (fast Pentium III, Athlons).
