RAM upgrade G835LW to 96 Gb

After spending several days searching forums for a solution to my laptop upgrade, I found several posts confirming normal operation of 96GB and even 128GB memory. I decided to install 96GB with a frequency of 5600. The memory started working, BUT only at 4800. This wouldn't be a big problem if ASUS hadn't disabled the "AiTweaker" feature in the BIOS. But I can't manually change the frequency or select "HMP" mode.
The person whose 128GB memory started at 5600 installed Crucial memory. I installed Kingston Furi, but mine doesn't work properly.
Question:
1. What's the difference between Kingston and Crucial memory? Why does one work and the other doesn't?
2. What are my possible solutions to this problem?

Hello,

Links to the memory kits would help but in terms of memory everything is down to the CPU. For the best possible performance you need to use memory modules that are CSO-DIMM. Your Intel CPU is rated 6400MT/s when used with a CSO-DIMM, it's just a memory module that contains extra hardware to help maintain the memory frequency / prevent downclocking due to interference.

According to the websites of both Kingston and Crucial, the memory specifications are identical except for the timings. And they're both not CSO-DIMM, but regular SO-DIMM. It's a complete mystery to me. Are there any ASUS tech support representatives here? Or could you tell me where I can write about this?
