But i cant find out if its ATX, micro etc. And what are the deminsion?

Proprietary form factor. Neither mATX nor ATX.
Basically - you can put it in the original case only. May be in some very large ATX or EATX case too.

according to this video, its mini-ITX mainboard which has 17x17cm

So i cant fit this motherboard in another case?

Have to check each case separately.
May be it can fit into some very deep mATX case too.

Why do you need to change the case? Original case is not available?

 

[kerberos_20]

itx cases can be placed in normal cases, its just tiny board which fits almost everywhere
see case description for mainboard size support just in case it doesnt have holes for itx

only if you make some mods to any standard case

pretty extensive ones

Its miniITXish.
Regular ATX connections, mostly.

But the blue circled part is the extended portion of the motherboard pictured above.

That fits to only that case.

My new RTX 2060 dosent have enough space in the case. So its 84 degrees

They just made a penis enlarger for my motherboard

Acer proprietary.

Case and motherboard were built to go with each other, and only each other.

 

[kerberos_20]

screw holes seems to be standard sizing...should fit...just that front io would hit small cases

 

[Lillelord]

Is it any cases that would fit my motherboard, except the acer?

 

[geofelt]

The width of the motherboard seems to conform to ITX size.
But, the depth of the motherboard is more like eatx depth.
Here is a link to ATX specs and dimensions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX
By measuring your motherboard and comparing to a prospective case, you should be able to find something that fits.
The dimensions are 13.8 x 13.4 x 6.4 inches (350.5 x 340.4 x 162.6mm)

The motherboard is proprietary and the extension is designed to mate with the front ports of the case.
If you were to mount the motherboard in a EATX case which is deeper, you would not be able to mate the front panel outputs to any other case.
If you want a better case, the easiest thing to do is to buy a replacement motherboard to go with the new case.
Most any lga1151 300 series will do for your i7-8700 processor.
Here is an example for $60.

The motherboard may have some proprietary connectors/headers, meaning that even if you fit it into another case it won't be able to connect to the case properly.

I would just buy an lga1151 board like the one geofelt linked if you are planning to swap cases.

Another consideration with a case swap could be the PSU and cable length.
