ERAZER Hunter X20 (MD 34560) Review – Tower of Power


ERAZER is making good progress. Since the Medion tag was released, new models have been appearing all the time. The Hunter X20 is not new, but it has recently received a major upgrade. Time to try this tower PC, equipped with Intel Core i7, 14700K and RTX 4070 Ti.

Anyone who sees the ERAZER Hunter X20 for the first time can hardly help but be impressed. The oversized tower PC is rock solid and offers a direct view of the beautiful interior with a glass side panel.

It houses a large RTX 4070 Ti video card, an oversized 850W power supply and an Intel Core 7i CPU. The latter is completely hidden from view by a beautifully finished water cooling system, linked to various fans.

Such an impressive piece of technology naturally raises expectations. Can this tower PC live up to those expectations? We put the Hunter X20 on the rack.

Sturdy construction, useful features

The Hunter X20 is designed with a sturdy, metal case on small feet. This means that the casing is just off the ground, which is very useful for airflow. The bottom of the X20 is open, allowing airflow to flow freely inwards, directly against the RTX 4070 video card.

The front is almost completely smooth, except for a logo with LEDs. The top, on the other hand, has an on-off button and – very useful – two USB connections and two audio plugs.

All other connection options are traditionally positioned at the back, with the large number of USB connections being particularly noticeable, as well as three DisplayPort connections.

Both sides are equipped with easy-to-use screws, making both the back and front of the motherboard easily accessible. The interior is also functionally finished.

Most striking are the CPU and video card. The CPU is shielded by a large block with a thick inlet and outlet for the water cooling. Below this, the video card is supported on a separate rack, which prevents it from sagging.

Working memory is also notable. Both strips of 16 GB DDR5 memory are equipped with LED lighting, as are the various strategically placed fans.

It is striking that the tower is equipped with only three fans, which in practice prove to be more than excellently equipped to keep everything cool. The space for the traditional hard drives is also neatly finished with a sturdy lid to keep the drives in place.

The hard drives are located next to the power supply, which is quite impressive with 850W. This offers ample opportunities to expand the system at a later time. The cables and mounting materials required for this are not present in the cabinet as standard, but are supplied separately. This modular system ensures that the cupboard remains neatly tidy.

The performance

Game + settings Performance Hunter X20
Atomic Heart, 2560 x 1440 px Atomic settings avg 192 fps, min 182, max 214 fps
Forza Horizon 5, 3840 x 2160 px, Extreme settings avg 135 fps, min 130, max 154 fps
Dying Light, 3840 x 2160 px, High settings avg 128, fps min 105 max 180 fpx
Death Stranding, 3840 x 2160 px avg 150 fps
The Outer Worlds, 3840 x 2160 px, Ultra settings avg 90 fps, min70 max 98 fps
Lies of P, 3940 x 2160 px avg 170 fps
A Plague tale: Requiem, 3940x 2160 px avg 100 fps, min 95 max 110 fps

It is clear that the Hunter X20 still delivers excellent performance even at the highest resolutions and at 4K. The performance is stable and remains in the regions above 100 fps, with the exception of The Outer Worlds, which is just below that at 90 fps. During all the tests we carried out, the Hunter X20 did not budge when it came to cooling.

In addition to the gaming tests, we also subjected the X20 to a long-term stress test, with both the CPU and GPU running at full load for more than 24 hours. Despite this heavy load, the cooling continued to do its job well and the system only delivered a soft hum.

The water cooling will partly contribute to this, but on the other hand the tower case also has so much free space that effective airflow via the grille at the bottom and the fans at the back is more than sufficient.

ERAZER Hunter X20 Review – A big monster that is ready for the future

The Hunter X20 is a large tower PC with solid specs, especially after the upgrade to the RTX 4070 Ti. The build quality of this PC can only be described as good: careful consideration has been given to the use of space, expandability and airflow, making the system attractive, silent and future-proof.

At over 3,000 euros, the Hunter X20 has a hefty price tag, but you certainly get value for your money. With this system you can play almost any game at 4K at more than 100 FPS without having to compromise on graphic details.

The downside is that the development of video cards is going so fast that the RTX 4070 Ti now seems outdated. Nvidia has announced the 4070 Ti Super to further balance the price/performance ratio of its offering. Unfortunately, that map appears too late for this system, but that may be something for a future update.

8.5

The plus and minus points

  • Build quality
  • Performance
  • Connection options
  • Extensibility
  • Volume cooling
  • Price
  • RTX 4070 Ti already overtaken by Super model?

Best Naked Mods for Monster Hunter Games

Monster Hunter is known for its variety of giant monsters, big weapons, and multiplayer mode where you can hunt monsters with your friends. It’s a game that can take some time to learn, and potentially years to master. As you continually search for monster parts or travel through the same landscapes, you may want to add some variety to your game to avoid the feeling of boredom.

This variety can come in the form of nude mods for characters. You can start hunting by viewing your character models in their entirety, or see what other NPCs would look like without clothes. These are the best bare mods you can get for Monster Hunter, covering both Monster Hunter World and Rise.

Best Naked Mods for Monster Hunter Games

There are many Monster Hunter games, so it is not difficult to guess that there are many bare mods. There’s a certain appeal when you’re playing a skinny girl and hunting monsters. Now let’s see what’s in the store.

Sick Wins EBB – Inner Armor (Monster Hunter Rise)

THE The Sick Gains EBB – Inner Armor The mod will change the appearance of all inner armor to resemble a fully naked body. Each model will wear gloves and will need gloves to hide the appearance of the hands. This is a modification of Karbon’s Extra Buff Body mod.

You will need other mods installed before this takes effect, especially Dytsers physics tool. Nonetheless, it’s a mod that’s nice to look at and gives you exactly what it says.

Yakuza Girl (Monster Hunter Rise)

Another almost naked mod, the Yakuza Girl The mod gives you full nudity for a female character, except for the lower body. It will replace the appearance of the inner armor, but will not remove any features of the inner armor.

This Salada 123 mod transforms a female model into an exotic and dangerous beauty who isn’t afraid to show off some skin. It’s perfect for treading the line between full nudity while leaving little to the imagination.

BedMate_Twins in Elgado TU2 update (Monster Hunter Rise)

THE BedMade_Twins update in Elgado TU2 the mod doesn’t apply nudity to you, but it will apply it to Minato. This Talsen 18 mod will make Minoto sleep on your bed and you can watch her without being disturbed. You can also pair Minoto with Hinoa to see them both sleeping on your bed without clothes.

This is an eco-friendly model, so the sleeping girls are just for decoration. You can’t interact with either Minoto or Hinoa, but just looking at them should be enough.

Skin Bundle – Up to 8 Options – Grada’s Paradise Series (Monster Hunter Rise)

THE Skin Bundle – Up to 8 Options – Grada’s Paradise Series (Sunbreak Compatible) The mod gives you a variety of skins to choose from. Many of these skins will allow you to render a character naked, as well as adjust body features to your liking.

You can make a body more muscular or change the color of hair/body parts according to your preference. This mode is a collaboration of two modders, Papitas and Gradash.

Good Nude Topology mod (Monster Hunter Rise)

THE Good bare topology Dyster’s mod will allow you to freely modify the body of a female character as you wish. You can change the muscle structure of a body, change body physics, and even change the size of body parts as you wish.

There are several designs you can choose from and then edit yourself if you’re looking for something specific. One note, the leg and body sizes are not compatible, so you can’t put huge knockers with an average body/leg size without the model looking all messy.

Jiggly ‘Extra Buff’ Nude Body Contour (Monster Hunter World)

The Karbons Jiggly ‘Extra Buff’ Nude Body Contouring The mod replaces the Buff Body armor set with a nude character model. You can’t modify the mod without directly editing the files, but it involves more body physics, as well as hand-made textures that fit the normal body.

If you want to modify the mod and have modding skills, you can add additional modifications as you wish. Be careful, the arms and waist are the same size, so the modified armor can still fit there.

Naked NPC Girl (Monster Hunter Rise)

THE Naked NPC girl RochesteDorm’s mod will remove all clothing from generic female NPCs in the game. This will also affect the size of their upper bodies for a more shapely appearance. You can change the size of the upper body to your liking, or just stick to the generic appearance for a regular look.

This does not affect important female NPCs, who have separate mods. This mod will make your time and adventures around Kamura much more interesting and engaging.

Highpoly Nude Mod with Jiggle Animation (Monster Hunter World)

THE Highpoly Nude MOD with shaking animation It’s exactly what it says: a high-quality nudity mod that takes proper body physics into account. There are several variations of this mod to suit your particular tastes and is compatible with the Iceborne DLC.

Other players will not be able to see this bare mod if you have it equipped, making it somewhat safe for multiplayer use. This friccirf’s mod has become very popular in the modding community, and many obscene mods have been created just to be compatible with it.

HPN ___y Duchess Vaal (Monster Hunter World)

The High Polygon Nude mod for Monster Hunter World became extremely popular among modders, and soon enough the game was flawed with highly detailed nude mods for various characters. One of the most attractive characters in the game is the Duchess Vaal Hazak.

Modder Aqxero personally admitted that he is very much in love with the Duchess, so they created this mode which features 19 amazing variations of her armor. I can’t even imagine how much time and effort went into creating this mod, and I really hope you enjoy the effort.

___y Vanilla Armors (Monster Hunter World)

Another ambitious mod from Aqxaro. The goal of this mod is to replace each female armor in the base game and the Iceborn expansion, with one ___y vanilla armor version which reveals parts of the characters’ bodies.

Eventually we will have a ___y mod for every armor in the game so that we don’t have to experience cognitive dissonance by choosing one of the few ___y armors. A warning, if you already have armor mods, this mod will overwrite them, as it works on all armor in the game.
