I want to change the 70mm fan that was included with the volcano 7+ for a 80mm fan.
But I have no idea how to fasten it to the heatsink.
Does anyone has an idea how to this?

As a Volcano 7+ owner myself, I can see what a problem this poses. I believe it would be very difficult to attach an 80mm to that shroud. Probably best left as it is or go for a new HSF.

PS. Im not adventurous with DIY so I dont really know if its possible or not.

I noticed that, I want to fasten the fan directly to the heatsink, but I don't know how.
I thought of glueing it to the sink but that would be a little bit harsh.

You might be able to pull it off by screwing in the fan in an angle. The disadvantage of that is you will only use 2 fans holes. Also, be careful, since you don't want to bend the heatsink fins too much
