Evga 1600T2 OR Corsair 1500i
Alright I need to get a larger PSU just so I can rule out this sleep/wake problem I am having with my current system with Corsair AX1200. This problem started after I installed Titan X.
So if anyone could advice which of the 2 PSU to get, I would greatly appreciate it.

I see you made your decision already. I was going to say there's very little between the two. I don't know what experiences the other guy has had but I haven't had a single Corsair or EVGA PSU fail on me despite having been put through some harsh tests. You really can't go wrong with either of them (1600T2 vs AX1500i) to be honest but consider also the 1600P2 which is virtually a 80+ Titanium unit as well on 220V and almost that on 110V but less expensive.

Currently I'm using a corsair ax1200 to power my Titan x. I feel like Titan x sli might break it

What problem you have exactly with AX1200 Gold?
For me is EVGA 1600 T2 better, better case, better cables, I because I love EVGA more than CORSAIR...
but AX1500i is EXCELLENT, and would be even better without software.
I would not like AX1200i, that model I would rather replace than keep in my case.
I think EVGA will soon to launch 1000-1200 T2 units and I think EVGA should keep same PSU case only to change little paint.
I mean paint to stay scratch resistant as now but flat full black pain, similar as Seasonic. I think 1000-1200 T2 should look like that.

I have wake from sleep problems. The pc turns on then off then on then off and they stays on. This starting happening after installing a Titan x.
I'm not oc or anything just in default.
I don't understand.

And I would be very surprised with such behavior...
What happen when you install previous graphic, or did you tried TITAN X in some other PSU.
I would really chose 1600 T2 first... Most because PSU is nicer, better cables are available and because I hear that people had bad experience with CORSAIR support in last year. Much worse than before 3-4 years. That could be very heavy pressure on buyers during unboxing, installation, testing and everything else.
Really pity for AX1200 Gold if he make problem, he could serve you 2-3 years more, but that's it I hear many many cases where units PSU become weaker after about 5 years heavy use and start problems usually with reboots under high load. Some even after mid load.
You really build nice PC with sleeve cables and AX1200, TITAN X, same motherboard as mine.
Actually I have restarts with 5 years old Seasonic in last months, he change few builds... and I think it's graphic, even in one moment maybe motherboard but restarts stop when I replace PSU with 1200 P2. And I had problem only under high load...Until I replace PSU than stop completely. I never use sleep mode, once in week I turn off completely over night, rest of time he work.

You can show pictures with TITAN X later, because I have same cooler and same motherboard and I want to see how could look TITAN X in my PC. Because I keep PC so clean, same as you. Your case is 800D, case forever... I would not change him for these new models.
His only flaw is ugly shape of window panel but that could be fixed easy with nice glass, durable to scratch and temps and easy for clean.

You can get 3 way SLI of stock Titan X's on that AX 1200 and not have power problems. Your problem is using sleep/wake. It's a buggy feature and it's resolve can range from drivers to some weird compatibility problems between components.
If you've got money to burn sure go with either PSU as they are one of the best PSUs on the market, but take into consideration that it may not fix your problem. What will definitely solve your problem is stopping to use sleep/wake especially if you're using an SSD.

Thank you very much guys. It's like a bug in my head that something is very much wrong with my psu. But I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it. Yeah I was using a regular Titan before and wake from sleep was fine.
I love my corsair 800d as well. Nothing comes better then it. I was considering 900d at one point but nope. Too big!!!! And I'm not going to water cool anymore.
Unless I learn copper tubing.
Anyways Vlad I replaced my side window with a dark tinted one with some laser etch.
If you want one too I can arrange it for you as well. Iam also thinking of changing it.

Yes there is a problem.
Today twice while playing BFH my system reboots. It's strange that it reboots only with that game and not CODAW.
I think my psu is done.
I'm going with eVGA 1600t2
Wish me luck

Off course I wish you luck with new EVGA 1600 T2 PSU.
You should install new PSU and if problems with reboots stop than it's time to manufacturer check your problematic PSU.

Unfortunately I got the ax1500i psu and I hate it. It's not compatible with Hashwell CPUs. It works fine when turned on and off the problems I'm having with this psu is during sleep and wake. There is a little light on the psu to indicate proper functioning of the psu. So when I wake the system the system turns on and turns off with that light turned to red.
Great the only solution is to turn the psu off from the rear and boot it up.
Sweet.....why oh why didn't I get the eVGA psu?

Did you explain your problem to CORSAIR?
In specification for model AX1500i write Haswell Ready.

I know this is necro-posting, but it's not your PSU. Stop using the sleep/wake settings on your PC like someone else has already in this thread and stop blaming power on the PSU because for some reason you are trying to find faults with Corsair. I have a Corsair AX1200i and am looking at getting the EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 T2, but only because I need more head room for a large build I'm about to start. If your PSU has a red light that doesn't necessarily mean your PSU is bad or whatever, check to make sure you have all the proper cords plugged into their correct places and then make sure that you are plugging the damn thing into a wall socket that has a 15 amp fuse or larger. If you do not have enough power coming from the wall, then that is the only thing that could be hurting your PSU outside of you having improper settings in your BIOS or elsewhere on your PC. Sorry, you blaming Corsair for a crappy PSU is ridiculous when you can't even power a single Titan X with the flagship PSU from Corsair. They are not just some bull**** company. You are an idiot.

He is not, but you probably are. I have a very similar issue with seasonic snow white platinum 1050W. My computer was in warranty center and the issue was PSU. The thing with seasonic was that in order to boot computer, I needed to shut it down minimum for several hours or even more. It's related to induction power. And found in forums more people having the same issue with seasonic psu. And one interesting thing was, that this PSU disease appears after one on or two months of usage. For some strange issue it started to give wrong stand up power. Try putting something on the 5v line like a fan or an old floppy disk drive. Try to connect more stuff to computer. Try pressing the ON button either from the casing or motherboard simultaneously "together" with the PSU ON/OFF button (at the back of the PSU) and somehow it will kick start the motherboard/CPU after a while (like pressing ON/OFF ON/OFF ON/OFF at the PSU together with the on button at the casing) Also some of "big" PSU could have some triggers against miners and that triggers could work as not expected.
