Two case fans in one 4-pin slot

Hello, I have a question about the motherboard and case fans.

My motherboard is MSI B460M Mortar. It supports 3 slots for case fans and 1 for a cooler. My case comes with 4 120mm 3-pin backlit fans (not RGB), and they have these cables to connect them together. And the question arose, can I connect two case fans and connect them to one 4-pin connector? And will the 4-pin slot on the motherboard burn out?

Thank you in advance for your answers !!!

You can why not.

But this is already at your own peril and risk. Manufacturers strictly do not recommend exceeding the current of 1 ampere for these connectors, that is, the guarantee immediately flies by default. Everything else is lucky, it may burn, maybe not. Moreover, the imbalance of the sponge will affect the entire motherboard, for example, not this connector may burn out, but the PAM connector, or video cards, etc.
