Is it possible to power 2 systems with r5 7600 non X cpus and no gpus with one PSU?

I read that a 4 pin cpu connector can provide upto 192W, and you can split a 24 pin cable with a splitter.

Can I safely power two r5 7600 non X's with a tier C PSU or am I going to ruin something. I do have prior experience building pcs.

I can't imagine any mediocre-or-worse PSU I'd actually trust for a weird use case like this.

If you're going to power two systems that you care about, then actually do it properly. Janky setups like this are just begging for trouble.
 
You need to be a little more specific. What is the make and model of your PSU? How old is the unit in question? You might want to look into something like this;

On second thoughts, please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
R5 7600 non X
ak400
b650m ds3h
1x16 ddr5
ex900 plus 256gb
no gpu
MSI MPG A650GF 650W
no chasis

so the PSU I was going for was MSI MPG A650GF 650W, which is a high end in psu tier list
