Question RGB PSU 24-pin/PCI-e 6/8 pin extensions - are they safe to use? NZXT C1000 says not to connect other types of cables?

Just wondering if there are any issues using RGB extensions for PSU 24-pin or GPU PCI-E 6/8-pin extensions because although they don't plug in directly to the PSU they plug in to the cable itself and most modular PSU manufacturers say not to use cables meant for other PSUs so I was wondering if this falls into the same category?
 
Lian Li Strimer? I've only seen issues when used with high end hardware. The resistance of those cables seems terribly high and the voltage at the end of the cable drops significantly and the system gets unstable.
