Water Cooler MSI Mag Coreliquid M360
first doubt
Does each cooler have this maximum current?
If this is true, the 3 coolers exceed the maximum power of the cooler controller, which is 1A at most.
I could put the 3 coolers in other connectors, but I would lose the regulation that is done on the CPU
What would be the most appropriate solution for this?
Can someone help me?

Hey. The section that is highlighted in red is wattage not amps. That thing says your pump is rated for 4.56 watts and .38 amps and the fans are 4.2 watts and .35 amps (I assume that is saying for each fan and the total power needed to spin the fan and have the RGB light up). They should draw less than that if they are not running at 100%.

It is important to note that the fans can get the power they need from both the fan header and RGB header, so using a splitter should not overload a single fan header.

These AIOs will come with splitters that will allow you to combine the 3 fan cables for the fan speed onto a single header and the 3 fan RGB cables onto a single RGB header on your motherboard.

I do not know what you mean by: "I could put the 3 coolers in other connectors, but I would lose the regulation that is done on the CPU"

I assume this means that by using other fan headers you would lose control over the speed of the fans based on whatever the CPU temp is. As long as they are 4pin fans, you could still control each fan individually on separate headers but you would end up having to set multiple fan curves in your motherboard's bios.

Will it be very close to 1 amp?

You keep calling them coolers, and they are fans. The whole unit with the radiator, pump, and the fans together can be called a cooler. It is confusing if you keep calling the fans coolers.

However, yes. It is possible to connect all 3 fans onto one header. It would be close to 1 amp if all three fans are running at max speed, but the speed can be controlled either with software or the BIOS. The AIO manufacturers supply those 3 to 1 splitters knowing the headers on the motherboard typically are rated for 1 amp.
