I have only attached my case fans to my Corsair 600T fan controller, yet when I adjust the case fan speeds using the fan controller my CPU cooler also changes speeds O.o

Maybe you attached your cpu fan to your fan controller.

Maybe it's changing to compensate for the different temperature due to changed airflow in the case.

That would make sense :) But it spins up almost instantly when I turn down my fan controller.

Also, how would it know that the airflow is changing?

Hmm. Strange.

I just mean that it might have been reacting to the change in temperature. The temperature which is caused by the change in airflow, not changing because of the airflow itself.

Your cpu temp would rise or decrease

If your CPU cooler is set to automatically adjust, it will adjust pretty fast. Of course you can check temp monitoring and see how much lower case fan speed effect on CPU tems.
