Some newer boards allow you to control your RGB LEDs from the BIOS (ASUS ones in my experience, at least), if you don't need much control over it that can be a viable alternative as well.
Good point! The motherboard I have apparently allows for this but it never saves? I tried playing with it for a week before giving up. Ultimately, I ended up dual-booting windows and using the official brand tool to do something to the motherboard to save the correct colors. Been working since, even when booting to linux.
