Is there any way of finding out if my Phenom II 1055T is a 95w or 125w version, without physically looking at the number codes on the cpu itself?

Open Core Temp and look at the VID.
1.225v or below will denote a 95W. Higher will denote a 125W.

Thanks, just checked and I've been sent the 125w version instead of the 95w

What is your CPU VID?

The numbers on the chip are as follows
HDT55TFBK6DGR
CCBBE CB 1040APMW
9H 36674J 00146
Its a 125w

Thanks for the help, will have to RMA it and then see what a 95w can do

Well its from OCUk, so I'm sure they will see me right
Just the hassle of waiting for a courier, it to get there, and then the correct CPU to arrive means no PC

Interesting, my BIOS (GA-880GM-UD2H) tells me the default VID for my chip is 1.325v, but I should have the 95W version.
Looking in HWMonitor it tells me that it uses 105W when overclocked and running Prime95.
Also HWMonitor VID seems to disagree with CoreTemp's VID.
So have I also got the 125W edition?
Thanks.

HWmonitor doesn't display VID
Hi all,
My motherboard is a rubbish Dell motherboard so I decided to use AMD overdrive. First time overclocking and I have already reached 3.9GHz I am going to be getting an Asus crosshair IV for xmas so i should be able to reach 4GHz by increasing the FSB and voltage a little.
I am going to be running prime for about 12 Hours tomorrow to see if it is stable.
Screenshot:
I experimented with AMD Overdrive a little and found the overvolt tool and when I tried to overclock, it went up to 1.5v. Is that safe or is it to much voltage?

Sorry Martini1991, just looked, I was thinking CPU VCore.
Also found an old photo I took of my CPU when doing my build, it's a HDT55TWFK6DGR chip (unless they changed the CPU when I RMA'd the bundle because of the motherboard), so I should be OK I guess.
Sorry to waste everyone's time.

1.325v isn't 95W.
The lowest binned 95W is 1.25/1.225 IIRC.

Well then either OcUK switched chips on me (to be honest I think I saw a bit of left over TIM on it that I forgot to remove when I sent it back) or HDT55TWFK6DGR isn't 95W.
EDIT: Or my motherboard is lying to me, or I'm confusing it with VCore again...

GoogalyMoogaly, is the code on your chip now HDT55TWFK6DGR or is that the code from another chip? (in the photo)?

Big.Wayne, that's the code from the original chip, which hopefully is the same as the chip I have now.
It looks like there was some TIM down the side which looked like it might have been the TIM I used originally, so pretty sure it's the same chip. No guarantee though.

GoogalyMoogaly, can you help me get your story right? 
You originally bought a 95w AMD® Phenom™ II X6 & XYZ motherboard . . . you then had a problem with said motherboard so you sent it back to OcUK but also included your processor? . . .
Then OcUk either returned your original motherboard saying "No Fault Found" or they sent you a new motherboardboard saying "Fault Found" . . . can you confirm which of these scenarios is true please?
With either scenario you don't actually know what chip you have now because you didn't check the code on the IHS since it was returned? . . . you suspect it is your original chip because of some TIM on the CPU?
