Dear @Deebx ,
Based on the specs you've provided so far I calculated you'll be drawing a maximum TDP for both your CPU + GPU to be 195W out of 240W. You're using about 81.25% of your total power adapter.
The 12700H draws a TDP of 45W and at PL1 (Power-Level1): 45W, then PL2 (Power-Level2): 115W.
The RTX 3060 Mobile edition draws 80W by default.
If you plan on doing some serious overclocking, then you might need the 330W adapter but still its overkill compared to the 240W it came with.
Let me know,
