Can't tell if they are safe or not but they are only 18 AWG.

16 AWG would be preferred.

Something like this?? It’s 16 gauge ABNO1 PSU Cable Extension Kit 30CM Length with Cable Combs 1x24Pin/1x8Pin(4+4) EPS/2x8Pin(6P+2P) PCI-E/PC Sleeved Cable for ATX Power Supply(White) https://a.co/d/gHIWrWO

Well, it's 16AWG so that's better.

But it's tinned. This makes a wire less likely to stretch but it also makes it more brittle.

Help me out here, lol. Do you recommend a specific? I’m not sure what I’m looking for and it seems you do better than I.

I don't recommend PSU extensions.

They add resistance and another point of failure.

If you have to have some don't cheap out.

Look for 16AWG and not tinned.

Would you recommend just getting new cables? My PSU is modular
