- replacing processor in OMEN 25L Desktop GT12-0000a

Hello,
The processor of my OMEN 25L Desktop GT12-0000a died, the PC worked again with another processor I could borrow for the test.
Originally this PC has an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X.
I could not really find this same processor again....so I thought to place a Ryzen 7 5700X, has pretty much same specs with same power requirements.
I realise the motherboard should have a BIOS upgrade before this should work ( done this quite a few times before ).
The problem is that on the support page of this PC there is BIOS F.27 revA available.
Current BIOS is F20, but when i want to run the BIOS, a message says that this BIOS is older than the current one.
So F.27 rev A is older than F.20 according to the BIOS exe itself.
What is going wrong?
And will this help me to use the new processor on this motherboard?
I am thankful for any help
