Is it the 8GB or 4GB version?

By "explode" do you mean the screen goes black and the fans on the card go to 100% or perhaps something else?

It is the 8gb version, I mean that the screen goes black and when I kill the game, the screen has strange colors and I have no other option but to restart the pc. sorry it's the first time a game scares me like that haha

Yeah that is a serious symptom indeed, your GPU might be on its way out unless it's just a driver issue.

Do you have a software fan speed controller like MSI Afterburner? It's free. I set the fan curve aggressive and my card, an Nvidia 2070 runs full throttle at 73 degrees C with no issues. Noisy, but no frying the electronics. Also, the more VRAM, the better.

Before trying any custom fan software settings, you should first check what your temperatures are when running the game. If it's actually thermal issues causing this then you should indeed run the fans higher and clean the insides of your case from dust as well with a can of compressed air designed for cleaning electronics. This should actually be done regularly in order to give your hardware a longer lifespan.

no, in fact the fans are not even activated in the game and if they work because in other games that require their use, they do work. I think it is already some problem of the game.

Do you have any fan controller software? Something weird is going on. Once the card starts rendering the game, the fans should speed up.

Check the temperatures when the game is running like I said, you can activate a metrics overlay from the Radeon software before launching the game. It'll have two GPU temp values, tell us both.
