I notice that the mesh filter of the Corsair 250D cases are adhered by magnets.

 

Basically, a piece of what i suspect to be a 3M flexible magnetic tape taped onto the mesh. The mesh will hold on to the aluminum side panels.

 

Will it have any effects on the GPU in any way?

No, you should be fine. The magnets aren't strong.

The only thing that you should definitely keep magnets away from are your hard drive but even then it's just for precautionary measure, I use magnets for a custom rear I/O shroud on the motherboard with no problems.

Noep.

 

Your hard drive(s) (if you have any) have stronger magnets than your case does, and it doesn't harm anything.

While this is true, I wouldn't risk being careless with magnets around your hdd. Better safe than sorry!

Corsair is neither new to making cases nor a random Chinese company that would carelessly sell a case that could damage any component. I'm sure the magnets there are thought out.
