You don't wanna just force the voltage since it probably requires more than just a different voltage. What you wanna do is to patch the kernel with the proper patch. If the card has been around for a while, there's probably a patch somewhere on the Internet, and it'll do all the right things like setting the correct voltage along with whatever else that's necessary. Good luck!
