Hi, I have a mid-late 2010 27" 3.6, i5 iMac,

The 1tb hard drive needs to be replaced,

I am just wondering, is it ok to install a 2tb hard drive into this iMac

Will a 2tb hard drive effect, heat, fans or anything else?

Other than voiding any AppleCare coverage, it won't make any noticeable impact on heat or fans.

Unfortunately my AppleCare expired last December,

Thanks for your reply and help,

Check ifixit.com; they have some good instructions (and their drive prices were competitive last time I checked).
