Can I damage or even kill a sbc if I use a power supply with a lower amperage than what is recommended/expected by the manufacturers? (lemmy.world)

Title. In other words, sbc recommended/optimal power supply is 5V4A but I use an 5V3A instead -- will it damage or kill the sbc? The reasoning behind this is "an direct undervolting towards the system, for lower power draw and temps".

Thanks in advance.
