Hello,
It’s simple: With gamma loader, I have calibrate my monitor. To work on photoshop with more accurate, I must work with this profile ICC, selecting monitor RGB????

Can I use any ICC profile for my monitor?????

Example: If my monitor have a color range limit (example: sRGB), using sRGB or Adobe RGB in photoshop, would not it display the same??? Because, if my monitor does not support range bigger than sRGB, all above it, might display the same colors. Thus, do not have different between them, (in this case) ok???? or no???

So, open an image with sRGB proflie.. Click Image menu > Mode > Assign Profile and switch to Adobe RGB… Why does photoshop look like to increase saturation????

You use Adobe Gamma to create a profile for your monitor. Adobe Gamma Loader insures that this profile is selected for your monitor.

No, only use those profiles that specifically apply to your monitor.
Example: If my monitor have a color range limit (example: sRGB), using
sRGB or Adobe RGB in photoshop, would not it display the same??? Because, if my monitor does not support range bigger than sRGB, all above it, might display the same colors. Thus, do not have different between them, (in this case) ok???? or no???

Because you are doing this wrong. The purpose of the monitor profile is to enable PS (or other color managed application) to convert from what your working space is (AdobeRGB in your case) to whatever monitor space you need. This would be a version of sRGB that applies to your monitor.

So, what I do is to tell Windows to use the monitor profile that I created. I tell Photoshop to use Adobe RGB as my default working space. It is up to Photoshop to convert from one color gamut to another. On reading your message, it seems to me that you are applying the monitor profile twice. Jim
