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.

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.
