Idea is to use the GPUs for mining so CPU bottleneck should not be an issue.
 
Solution
The extenders help separate the gpus for better cooling. They work, but then you have to figure out how to mount the cards. Also, extenders tend to be lower quality and break easily. In any case, yes, they will work and are probably a good idea.

Thanks for the answer.

What do you think about these extenders. If I use these how many cards would I be able to attach?

The article states, that this is only a good idea for mining.
