    This IS a rather stupid question but after searching for a while didn't find an answer. Better to ask than to remain stupid.

    I've got an Xilence XP 550 PSU. It has a manual 115 / 230V input voltage switch. Now, I should be using that 230.

    Which setting is the right one? Atm the slider is "at top" position, showing 230.
    If I move it down, ofc, the 115 shows then.

    It most likely, logically thinking, has the right setting now.

    Right! The stupid question is the one not asked.
    I don't know. You did not tell us where you live or what your facility (main) voltage is.

    If you live in the US or another country where standard facility voltage is 110 - 120VAC, you should set it to 115VAC. If you live in Europe or another country that uses 220 - 240VAC for mains voltage, you should set it to 230VAC.

    As for the switch position, think "What you see is what you get!". So if you see 230, that's the setting.
