I thought turbo boost would be enabled on yours since notebook check said so

By default yes it has turbo boost, but remind that Lenovo have set thermal throttle when temperature reach 90 Celsius, it will drop to 2.4 Ghz stable till your processor is back to idle state.
(Proven through Prime 95 for 24+ hours after pasting with IC 7 and replace pads with fujipoly's then have to send SC due to my faulty keyboard I have :/)
As I remember, after Prime 95 for 25 minutes it will start throttle then remain stable 2.4 Ghz (all cores) till I stop my prime 95. However, you can alternatively use throttle stop as I mention in previous post.
User must aware that, it is not recommend as it can't handle turbo temperatures, as I recall the stock thermal paste + pad it reach 104 Celsius easily during this stress test for like 15 minutes.
Now I have to cross fingers that, they will not mess up my application and replace my thermal pads (Since I only ask them to change keyboard) then I will run Prime 95 again checking for improve temperatures base on 2.4 Ghz after few days (Since I don't use turbo boost on this laptop and assume I get it back on Monday)
The Temperatures I get during Prime 95 under 2.4 Ghz load (I'm using Core Temp and HW monitor to monitor my temperature) (After application)
75
77
79
76
and I admit that... repasting thermal paste and replace pads on Y500 requires patience as it is hard to disassemble.
