Can i flash bios with no cpu installed?

[j.col]

Hey guys.
I just bought a P8Z68-V/ GEN3 mobo, http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68VGEN3/ and an i5-3570K
And i think i made a noob mistake

I checked the cpu support list, and it says it supports the i5-3570K
But i didnt look at the bios version needed.

I tried fitting them today, and i cant get the pc to POST.
I just get 4 beeps.

I contacted the seller, and he confirmed he never updated the bios.
But i need bios 3201 at least

Is their anyway i can update the bios?
Or will i just have to buy another mobo and sell this one?
