    Depends on the times when it spins to full. If during those times the machine is under heavy load (E.g., playing a GPU or CPU-intensive game) then it's fine.

    If the fan spikes are not correlated with user activity, it depends. In that case, it may be a good idea to verify your CPU usage, and if it's too large, make sure you don't have malware or buggy apps that take too much CPU etc.
