    Question Any way to make my case fans remember the RGB setting?

    I have a Rosewill Cullinan MX RGB case, everytime I wake the computer from sleep or restart the fans default to the RGB rainbow cycle. Is there any way I can make them remember the color so I don't have to set it everytime? Or is my only option to buy a set of new case fans? Thanks
