I have ver 1 of this motherboard the specs say it should support the above processor but it is not sitting right, it wobbles in the slot and a red light comes in while trying to boot. I switched back to the old processor and that works fine. Could the CPU be compatible with rev 2 and not 1. Very confused. Bios 1604 the latest.

Did you update to the latest UEFI version? 8350 is in the CPU support list with the lastest UEFI.

I have the same motherboard but I haven't tried it with AM3+ CPU. It should work. Are sure the 8350 is not damaged? It should not wobble on the socket.

That motherboard should indeed support the 8350 without issue as long as the uefi is up to date. What troubles me is the wobbling you are describing, have you checked the pins on the cpu and made sure that none are bent? The cpu should never "wobble" when seated properly.
