This competition was a tribute to the predecessor of the current last gen AMD AM5 platform, with each of the three stages specifically focused on the memory tweaking. This brainchild of user Previousslayer (LTU) challenged the participants over three stages to get the most out of their beloved AMD AM4 platform:

• Stage 1:  Time of the Spy for APU powered CPUs only
• Stage 2: Return of the Hynix
• Stage 3: Parade of the Frequency

Stage one focussing on getting the memory speed as high and tight as possible to feed the onboard graphics unit to provide the best possible DirectX12 graphics score in UL Benchmarks TimeSpy test. Therefore thje Processor as onboard graphics clocks were capped.

Winner of this stage was OCer Alex 2305 (GER) with a score of 1716, far above the rest of the competition field.which all stayed below the 1700 mark. Even beating G.Skill champion Seby9123, Mickulty finished at 3rd spot.

For Stage 2 only usage of Hynix IC memory based was allowed., the benchmark picked was PYPrime, again with capped processor speeds. This time Swedish overclocker Naganannan.Mickulty finishing this time as second, Madness777 (RUS) completed the top 3.

To win Stage 3 the participants had to set the highest memory clock frequency on the AM4 platform. While many overclockers were stuck at around or below the 2000MT/s mark the top 3 breached 2300MT/s and the winner, Profile_Name_1 almost snatched a validation at 2400MT/s, which is very impressive on this architecture.. Stage 2 winner Naganannan finished in second and Mickulty consolidated the Top 3 once more and thus grabbing the overal victory in the Oldzen RAMvenge competition.

Congratz gents, nice sportsmanship and solid scores allround.
