    Anyone has opened this unit yet?

    A Y vent with 3 tick marks I would say it's a Teapo.

      Yes. If it has a y vent with 3 dots its definitely teapo.

        Is the sleeve to protect against heat we reckon?

          yes because that cap is almost touching a hot switching component

              Looks more like its wedged right inbetween a diode pack and the 5vsb transformer.

                Is not for heat. - Is for electrical insulation.
                The sleeves are not intended to be electrical isolation.

                  i thought all those black things on psu were called "switchers"? i didnt know there were different kinds
                  can u explain what different of those black things there are and what they do?

                    The ones on the secondary heatsink are generally two schottky or ultrafast diodes in a to-220 or to-247 package. They convert the 12v and 5v (as well as the 3.3v which is derived from the 5v through a mag-amp circuit) AC current from the transformer into their DC voltages. Though modern power supplies that use DC to DC for the 5v and 3.3v use VRM's to convert the 12v into 5v and 3.3v.

                    The primary switchers take the ~320-380v (depending on the topology, presence of APFC, etc...) DC on the primary and convert it into AC current and feed it to the primary transformer.
