That's not possible with EDID overrides, but you can adjust the totals to get a more precise value. If this is a 1920x1080 monitor, setting the totals to 2080x1150 will give you an exact 120 Hz, and setting the totals to 2080x1155 will give you an exact 119.880119880... Hz. Keep in mind that the calculated values might not match actual performance because of hardware variance.

As an example, I want to have 119.88hz as well as 120hz - the former for proper playback of films and certain games, and the latter for the majority of PC gaming. With similar situations, like with 59.94hz (NTSC) and 60hz, and 23.976hz (film) and 24hz, Windows differentiates the similar settings by naming them as the next lower integer. In other words, 23.976hz is called 23hz, so that it can be a choice alongside 24hz. So I wonder if I could rename 119.88 to 119 using CRU or some other method? It'd be really great, since I currently have to switch to HDMI from DVI every time I want proper movie playback, and it's pretty cumbersome actually.

That's not possible with EDID overrides, but it's possible with the NVIDIA control panel. You can use CRU to "fix" 120 Hz, then use the NVIDIA control panel to add 119.88 Hz as 119 Hz. The top section is the listed value, and the bottom section is the actual value. It's not necessary to have an exact 120 Hz for games though.
