I looked at similar questions but it didnt work.

When I use laptop normally, it doesnt heat up. But it heats up when I start/use PhpStorm IDE.

What can be the issue, how to overcome it ? Thanks.

This is a matter of resource usage that generates the heat. As alluded to in comments, PhpStorm takes a lot of resources and CPU usage. This in turn means your CPU needs to run and generate heat (as a byproduct) to process the requirements. This is a side effect of resource-intense programs, and unfortunately there's no good solutions to this problem. (Windows is plagued by the same problem too)

Short of manually throttling your CPU power (which would impact overall performance of the system and maybe make PhpStorm not work), there's no real way to overcome this issue.
