The thing with a 120mm fan is that half of it would be blowing past the PCB of the video card because it's so large.
With that you would have to create some shroud or housing that directs the airflow, so else I dont think there would be enough flow over the heatsink.
You can do it, it's just a bit more work. It would make it quieter and probably provide a few degrees more cooling.
