Hey, that's the Silverstone Essential F-ES230 unit, present in Tier D of the Tier List on Tom's Hardware : https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/psu-tier-list-psucultists.3624094/

It's recommended for cheap builds and/or iGPU systems, basically nothing with a GTX-level GPU or better, and from AMD as well, only the cheapest, least powerful cards would run on the PSU safely.

There are several tier lists.

The silverstone essential is tier 6 on that list.

If looking to buy, I would pass on the unit.

I would strongly recommend getting a different PSU if it is at all possible for you, since you haven't used the PSU maybe you could return it as well. It's not good enough for your system, in my opinion.

I couldnt return it cause ive finish the 3months return policy.But can i use it for temporary? On december i change it?

Your parts are low power so the psu should work.
Not my choice if you can reasonably do anything about it, but it is likely not dangerous.

You can use it, but there's really no saying if it will be perfectly fine or not. Perhaps if you stay away from overclocking it might work just fine. That's the thing about bad PSU's - they could work fine for years or they could give in on first boot, there's no telling. Like mentioned, your parts aren't super-demanding, so chances are you'll be mostly okay.

Thank you.So for temporary its safe for now? Cause the only seasonic psu sell here is seasonic m12 II tier (D) too so i need to wait . Because of the pandemic the supply of psu here is low. Only coolermaster and thermaltake psu mostly have.(sorry my english js bad)

It's basically a very old version of current version of tier list, no reason to use it.
And there are several different Silverstone Essential units, it's a whole lineup.
